My Kissy's results came back yesterday, and the vet faxed them to me today. Some of it, I understand, some of it I found in an answer on the Ferret FAQ on ferretcentral.org, but some still doesn't make sense to me, so I'll ask here. What are the following: MCV, MCH, MCHC, Neutrophils, Bands, Monocytes, Basophils, Urea Nitrogen, ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), CPK, and what do numbers that are off mean (luckily, this blood test shows the "reference range" for each value)? NOTE: Most of these are normal for my little girl (her MCH is low, but just slightly), but I'd like to know for future reference. One more thing, the blood test report shows that Chloride should be 90-110, but the ferretcentral paperwork says 105-127. Anyone know what it really should be? Hers is 117, so the report says it's high, but according to the online info, it would be ok. All is pretty normal - non-fasting glucose at 80 (she hadn't eaten for at least 2 hours, although we woke her from a sound sleepn to take her to the vet, so it might easily have been much longer) - Hematocrit at 34.0 (slightly low, showing slight anemia) - RBC 6.64 (very slightly low, again slight anemia) - all else is well within normal range. The vet is slightly concerned that her red blood count is low, but her blood protein level is normal (said that she would have expected the protein to be low with a low RBC). The vet would like to retest in a week, but I hesitate to put Kissy through another blood drawing (which was traumatic for her) if she's acting fine and since it was such a small difference from the normal values. Obviously, if she's still tired next week, it would be a different issue. Any thoughts from people here? Take care of your little ones, they steal our hearts (as they steal everything else in reach LOL). Debbie [Posted in FML issue 4890]
