[QUOTE="DorgEndo, post: 2000140, member: 103228"] In bummer news turns out Devlyn is a bit sick She has had loose or runny stools the past few weeks. I kept an eye on her. Got a fecal sample on July 29th, but the sample was negative for parasites Devlyn kept having loose stools so I took her back in. Signs of inflammation and chronic infection in her blood work. We started a second stool sample today. I also am having a culture done to check for a bacterial infection in addition to a parasite check. HCT (hematocrit) was 42, high. Normal is 23-39%. Not drastically high, but she doesn't drink water hardly ever so loose stools might be making her dehydrated. Absolute heterophils and absolute azurophilic monocytes were very high, off the charts. Which is similar to when she had past parasite infections. I am confused at her thrombocyte estimate as [B]Increased[/B]. Her value was always [B]Adequate[/B] so I don't know what [B]Increased[/B] means. The description reads the same so I'll have to ask the vet. What is good, I think, are her Ca:P ratios. 11.1 : 4.3 = 2 : 0.77477477477477 or [B](2:0.77)[/B] 11.1 : 4.3 = 1.5 : 0.58108108108108 or [B](1.5:0.58) She consistently in all her blood work has the calcium slightly "too high" to the ideal value of 2:1 for growing or 1.5:1 for adult maintenance.[/B] So, I'm not concerned her phosphorus is "low". This is in line with her normal. She has also had too high calcium in the past. 11.1 mg/dL is nicely in the middle.
