CBC results:
 
everything was completely in normal range, with the exceptions of:
phosphorus=3.6 (normal=4.2-8.5) and
chloride=116 (normal=90-110).
 
my vet didn't feel hat these two abnormals were sever enough to be a
worry, nor that they pointed to anything in specific.  as sid has remained
stable for two full days now, and his asocites(sp?) is not due to fluid
build-up, dr. feels that we should adopt a wait and watch attitude for
now, and that it may be nothing.
 
bloodwork is below, if anyone is interested or if any vets want to take a
second look at it and see if anything sstands out that my doc might have
missed...
