[QUOTE="DorgEndo, post: 2019896, member: 103228"] Sweetie_Cheeks I'm not the vet tech - putting in 2 cents. I agree with you that this is odd. Of course they should provide you a copy of the reports. I find it alarming in the chemistry blood results they do not list the values for red blood cells or white cells results! For anemia or any blood loss that is the result numbers you would need to get a proper second opinion. It's not okay they left that out! Them reporting to you that "red blood cell count went from 35 to 7" doesn't mean anything without the value they are using. They might mean percent of blood volume, that's my best guess. Internal bleeding should be able to be seen easily by an ultrasound. The only number 35 on the papers you listed is "BA < 35 umol/L". Which might mean Basophils - a type of white blood cell - which would [B]not[/B] be a value to measure anemia. These reports are confusing. If there is anemia and bleeding they should have suggested an ultrasound before exploratory surgery to confirm if and where there is bleeding. So I'm not the vet tech, but I think they are giving you bad advice. Can you go to another vet hospital and sign a request consent for for them to receive all copies or records? Get someone on your side to have them hand over all the records, if another vet clinic requests all records and they have your Signature giving permission they are obligated to provide everything [/QUOTE]
