Note he wasn’t fasted.
I haven’t included the ProCyte Data which all fell into the normal range, or the Chemistry Data (IVT) which was practically normal too.
When I asked his vet about the result and whether it was the likely the effect of the prednisone, he said no. That the test which would show the prednisone effect came out normal – I’m not sure which test result that would have been. That’s why I’m a bit more concerned.

Good article Sheena.
Yes Joe, it sounds like this is all part of the normal treatment. That approximately 1 month after the treatment to kill the heartworms, the dog returns to hospital for treament for the baby heartworms. Hopefully this is what it is.
How is Nauset acting? Very very best of luck.
Praying for you all.
Love Vally & Bingo.
Thanks all. I didn’t go to the local vets yesterday. I though I’d rather speak to the specialist first, especially bearing in mind the seizure 5 weeks ago (nothing since on that thank goodness). I rang this morning and he’s on leave this week (aint it always the way!). So I’ve left a message for one of the other specialists that knows Bingo to ring me. As Bingo is due to see his specialist next Monday, I may just check it’s okay to delay things until I see him first and maybe have the teeth dealt with after that.
It’s certainly not affecting his eating and he doesn’t show any tenderness. I’m just more nervous in giving him hard items – his favourite treat is dried chicken necks which are pretty hard – he’ll dance for these. I might use a nut cracker on them before giving them to him just so he doesn’t have to do the initial break through them.
Worry worry worry worry.
