Now this is what is supposed to happen after an extraction. I'll show this to Max. I'm glad Charlie is bouncing back (no pun intended).
 
Way to go Charlie! Blue looks very nice on you! Must be feeling better today.:)
 
Another great cycle start for Charlie.
Lola's bw came back not good, vet said values were all over the place, waiting for a call back to finish our conversation. I have an u.s. appt tomorrow morning. I wonder if the raw diet I make was off, the have been eating the newest batch for 2wk, I bought a bunch of canned and switched all cats, going to ask vet if something was off in the food I make would cause the bw being all over the place.
 
the vet just went over the blood work numbers with me we're going to do I have another sample tested she said the values that are off don't make sense with other values so that's where we stand.
I will be posting the blood work values here shortly I am on my way home

The Dr thinks something may be wrong with the sample since lola is not showing any signs of anything, doing a new blood test tomorrow.
 
Hemolysis means blood breakdown in the sample. This may cause numbers to be off.
Was there any mention of dehydration? Excessive urination may cause that and dehydration can alter some values of the blood work.

See my signature link Secondary Monitoring Tools for 2 ways to check for dehydration yourself - skin tenting and capillary refill in the gums.

I will do the skin test on her
That was 1 of the things the vet thought was off that one of the values it showed possible dehydration, yet the diluted urine represents over hydration.
 
No, diluted urine represents excessive excretion of water out of the renal system which causes dehydration. Things that do that include renal disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes, plus diuretics.
 
Her skin snaps back. Maybe I was confused, but i could swear she said over hydration, cause when she told me about the diluted urine she asked if Lola was given fluids on the day of the test, I said no, then asked if she was drinking lots of water, I said no but the raw diet I feed is pretty watery to the point they hardly drink from the water bowl, then she went on about one of the values represents possible dehydration.
