Jess--blood test results

[Goya]

Well the vet has just phoned. I was beginning to think all sorts of things and that it was far to late for him to phone tonight.
Anyway--good news and not so good news.
The good news is that nothing showed up. The bad news is that we still don't know what has caused her lethargy.
Vet says she is fit and healthy so there are no underlying health issues showing.
We have another tournament this w/e and vet says to take her and see how she goes, and let him know on Monday. Obviously I will pull her out if she shows any kind of not enjoying it or not wanting to run.
After this w/e we are also looking to change her diet to something with more protein and carbs. Currently she is on Skinners duck and rice.
It is worrying.

I'm glad it's nothing too serious - maybe she has knocked herself and is feeling a bit under the weather?

Skinners do a 'superior' food that is 30% protein, perhaps that will suit her

I know how you feel but in a sense you'd rather theyd found something as at least you can deal with it! Good luck lovely. Will let you know about Chlo tomorrow!

Spudlet--thanks for the idea but she was checked physically for possible muscle strains etc. Nothing showed up.
Flamehead--hope your results come back with good news for you. as you say, if you know what it is then you can deal with it.

Goya - Nothing important in the blood tests, only showed sodium down 3% and proteins up 3% on normal but still nothing drastic. Waiting for thyroid results. Did your vet say there was anything unusual at all?

 

[Goya]

No, and that was what is puzzling him. I'm to run her in the flyball comp tomorrow (obviously to pull her out if she shows any signs o flagging or anything) and to report to vet on Monday.
He says it might have been that she had some virus or something and has got over it before the 2nd blood test. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
Hope your dog is OK.
