Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: liver failure with blood work (update)
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

When Mojave went to the vet on Wednesday the vet commented on how well he looked and took some bloodwork.
The new results are as follows:
Test Results Reference Range

ALB 3.1 g/dl 2.2 - 4
> ALKP 137 U/L high 14 - 111
> ALT 102 U/L 12 - 130
> BUN/UREA 36 mg/dl 16 - 36
> Ca 8.7 mg/dl 7.8 - 11.3
> CHOL 221 mg/dl 65 - 225
> CREA 0.9 mg/dl 0.8 - 2.4
> GGT 53 U/L high 0 - 1
> GLU 87 mg/dl 74 - 159
> PHOS 6.1 mg/dl 3.1 - 7.5
> TBIL 0.5 mg/dl 0 - 0.9
> TP 7.1 g/dl 5.7 - 8.9
> GLOB 4 g/dl 2.8 - 5.1
> ALB/GLOB 0.8
> BUN/UREA 40

As you can tell the labs are looking so much better. The GGT is still high but it's not nearly as high as it was. I do hope that it's going to go back to normal soon.
The vet thinks Mojave might have had a reaction to something that caused all the numbers to go through the roof. He also told me to keep Mojave on the liver support supplement.

For comparison, the old bloodwork:
