[RC] Blood work recommended? - drhopkins

I would really appreciate any input as to what specifically should be tested 
for 
a baseline blood workup and to see if he would be predisposed to tying up.  The 
vet was out last week and drew blood.  I told him I  wanted a Coggins, Sport 
Horse blood work up and make sure that the Selenium is tested.  He didn't know 
what a 'Sport Horse Blood work up' was and wanted me to tell him exactly what I 
wanted tested.  It turns out that he has to come back out to draw more blood 
because he needs 2ml just for the Selenium testing.  He's a young doctor, very 
good with the horses and very willing to do anything I request without getting 
mad.  He does seem to be up on alot of stuff (ie WNV, more reactions this year 
to 
vaccinations etc) just not up on Sport Horses. He was willing to give ech 
vaccination in a different area (neck, eaach hip and chest) so that I could 
tell 
which vacc the horse was having a reaction to if they had one.  I recorded 
which 
vacc at each site, but fortunately no reactions.

Thanks in Advance,

Anna
