Just an update on Gabby.... She was tested about a week ago and her blood levels of albumin, protein, BUN and globulin were improving. But her folate seems to be down now per the attachment. When she was tested Jan 19th it was ok. On Jan 19th her Cobalamin was high (she had a shot 3 days earlier) Now her Cobalamin is ok but not as high.
They suggest Folic Acid 400 mcg per day.... Wonder what made the folate go low... I thought my dietary plan was helping her chemistry numbers go up per the above. But wonder what is going on why the folate went low. She has diffuse Small Intestine wall thickening with linear striations (Greek to me!) Presumptive Protein losing enteropathy
Question: I thought folic acid was not the preferred form in humans. I thought it is best to use folate but don't know if it is to be used in dogs. Any insight into this new situation?
I have been concerned her diet is not balanced but then read that this would not cause folate to decline.
