Awww....I'm so sorry to hear the not good news. However, I have to agree with the vet. When Peanut had her UTI, the vet also tested her blood and there were a few things that were "off" the biggest being her thyroid which was WAY off. He wanted to retest her after she was done with the antibiotics to make sure she didn't have hyperthyroidism because the T4 (I think) was so far off. After all the antibiotics were done and a few weeks went by to make sure everything was out of her system, I took her back and the blood test came back completely normal - on ALL acounts! So, in my not so experienced opinion, being sick and dehydrated could really throw her blood test off. I'm sure now that she's safe and loved, everything will go back to normal once she's done with her antibiotics.

Anyway, I didn't get a chance to respond to Hazel's new thread yet, but I just wanted to reassure you, with my limited experience, that she'll more than likely be "right as rain" in no time flat.
