Animals come into our lives as gifts from God, for companionship, to teach us, and to heal us. They deserve our very best efforts in caring for them.

October 30 Lab results are in

Brady's Alk Ph liver value came in at 263 with 131 being normal. This wasn't cause for alarm according to the VRCC doctor. Although his Alk Ph value was twice as high as normal, it wasn't worrisome to her. There is cause for concern however when those values are 3 to 5 times higher than normal. His other liver values were normal.

Potassium Bromide levels were 0.6 which is not in the therapeutic range so I was instructed by Dr. Jones (VRCC ER vet) to increase the Potassium Bromide from 450mg to 600mg once per day. We also adjusted his Pb back up to 97.2mg twice a day.

His Triglycerides were normal and his Thyroid was 0.9, just a hair low, with normal being 1-4.
