The blood test results are generally normal. Her red blood cell count is slightly elevated, which Kim says is more evidence that she's dehydrated. Liver and kidney function is normal. Right now he's trying to get a urine sample and is going to do a lumbar spine x-ray. His current theory is that she has injured her back (pulled muscle?) and is a little sore--therefore not moving much, drinking less ect. She's pretty stoic so maybe she wouldn't show pain. (Should have done the tests while she was in a tub--not stoic about that at all. She hates baths) He also wants to check for sponydlosis of the spine. X-ray will also show her abdominal cavity, if there is anything in there that shouldn't be. Urine sample is just to rule out any problems in that area.

Again, he's calling in an hour and then hopefully I can go pick her up. If nothing else shows up, he'll be giving her a week's worth of Metacam to see if that helps. I'm feeling a little panicky as these are all the same tests and so far the same results that he ran on Hoodoo just a few days before Hoodoo died. That's not happening again, it's just not.
