The vet noted that the GLOB was high-- reason, unknown. Altho, it is possible, that on this copy the decimal point didn't come through, ie. the BUN/CREAT is 42.4, not 424.

I don't know what to tell you about the lymphocytes. It could be a percentage? He felt didn't mention those as being off or anything. (In the long course of discussion, I had suggested that this might be a result of a spider/insect bite due to where I live.)

Thank you for the webpage. I will bring that to his attention when we talk again later today and see what he says.
