All you need to do is to follow your instincts and repeat the CBC. Hopefully it will be a clean (and clump free) sample.
Please let us know what his C6 is (FWIW) when you get the result.
This might be something you want to use for...
Welcome Donna!
Thanks for making your first post about Luke. He sounds like a happy boy! He i very fortunate to have such caring and loving guardians.
Wise man. As he intuitively knew, physical symptoms (like vomiting) should always be interpreted within the context of BEAM...
Yes, as it will avoid any future surgery for these extractions.
If you have a good relationship with your vet, and want to preserve that relationship, then your est bet is to let him do what he thinks is needed.
The one thing you may ask is about the use of Ketamine. Maybe ask if they can use...
I think her high BEAM may provide your answer about what she wants you to do next...
That being, exactly what you're doing to optimize her mitochondrial energy and healing.
And Christina just gave you a great formula to help her body do the best it can!
Hi Andrew!
Welcome to HA! and thanks for making your first post about your pup.
No problem using it IMO. The main problem with lemon and all citrus is that some dogs (and most cats) don't like it.
As long as the olive leaf extract does not seem to be decreasing his enjoyment of the food...

You'll need to inquire about availability in China.
And here are...
You may want to start with half that amount and work up based on BEAM, drinking, etc.
Nope, it doesn't. IMO the normal blood and abnormal albumin along with his renal values and dilute urine indicates kidney dis-ease affect the glomeruli (filter) of the kidney.
Very possibly, and easy to find...
Great, and very deep, question Daysha.
What you are describing is actually fairly common in older dogs.
Has Penny had liver, neuro or other dis-ease ruled out?
Regardless, my experience is that those physiologic abnormalities are often not the proximate "cause."
Especially in old...
Got it!Here's one of the brands I used when I worked in the ER:

Hi, and welcome to HA!
The only vaccine required by law is rabies (first a 1 year vax, then every 3 years).
Dr. Robb and Dr. Basak-Smith in Newtown and Smith Ridge vet are more open minded.
Other than the legal requirement for rabies, you'll be your new pup's health advocate.
My advice is...
Maybe try the Sacramento Bee written or audio version of this article:

Do you know what his most recent albumin was? The body can lose lots of protein in the urine yet still maintain a normal blood protein level...
Hey Pat!
Do you know why people using it?
As a vet, we use it to hopefully help adsorb toxins in acute exposures.
For general detox purposes the science-oriented human docs still recommend good 'ole fiber.
I use this one for pets...
You're very welcome!
Yes, the Miami Herald article, which nicely sums up the approach described in the book and at HA!, was very slow to load on my end as well. However it did loaad.
How is he with the SQ fluids? Was his appetite off by Sunday?
