Today was not a good day. The vet had said he would call with the results from Morgan and Maddie's bloodwork. He still hadn't called around 3ish. So I went by the office and he wasn't in. The girls said that my file was on his desk, and he would call but he'd gone to get something to eat. I wanted to try to get them since they will be closed Sat-Mon for the holiday weekend. As I was leaving, he pulled in. So I went back in. He went and got the file and immediately eased my mind by saying it wasn't bad news. Maddie had one pancreas enzyme that was in the high range but the other one was normal and he said that the one is sometimes high if she'd just eaten. He wasn't worried. Then he flipped over to Morgan's sheet that had 4 columns in the red section. My heart dropped. One was his glucose. It was 199. The doctor wasn't worried though. He said stress causes it to go up and Morgan had been in his carrier next to Maddie in the back seat for 20 minutes and then we waited at the vet's office for another 20. Then he had to be shaved for the blood to be drawn. He was definitely stressed. The other 3 levels were all red blood cells. Again the doctor said it was stress related. The spleen contracts and causes the count to go up. He said with the red blood cells what they are concerned with is if they are low. It all made sense to me. Morgan hasn't had any symptoms that would make me think anything was wrong. But he was definitely stressed. It was a big relief to hear back though. I was going crazy. Thank you everyone for your kind words of support.
