, is that what you or the vet thought was going on or have you actually seen them in x-rays or ultrasounds? I was sure that's what we were going to find but they checked his spine pretty thoroughly and saw nothing. He his on pred, though, and I know that can mask a lot of stuff. Amy --- On Fri, 6/25/10

there was very good blood flow going to the legs and it didn't look like anything was restricting or blocking flow. Not sure if there's any other way to rule out a clot. Amy --- On Thu, 6/24/10, Heather furrygi...@gmail.com wrote: From: Heather furrygi...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Felvtalk

asked what we would do if it's high. She said we'd look at all causes and rule them out and if none of those applied, we'd alter his diet to try bringing it down. He's anemic and having trouble with his legs. Would you pursue something like this or let him be in peace? Amy --- On Sun, 6/27

Sharyl, Wolfie's phos was 2.8 (3-6.6). Amy Amy, based on what you have written I wouldn't worry about the high Ca right now.  What was his phos level?  There is an issue when both Ca and Phos are high but again that wouldn't affect his hind legs.  It could be the anemia.    In the end

The potassium was fine at the last vet visit when he was checked for the leg weakness (about 4 weeks ago). I don't think they checked blood pressure. I'm hesitant to keep taking him in over and over for blood work as he has had non-regenerative anemia for almost a year now. --- On Fri,
