[RC] - Stagg_NewmanVal, Your vet and/or the lab should furnish you with the normal range for each of the above. That is usually in the print out and can vary somewhat from lab to lab depending on how they do the tests. Then the only ones I normally worry about are any out of the normal range. Those I would go over with your vet and also with an endurance vet if you vet is not really familiar with endurance horses. Also next time you go to a ride I would ask the ride vet for her/his opinion. Stagg From: Val Nicoson <sweetmare55@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [RC] Blood Work Results--Vets? Had a blood panel done on my mare back in December 2003. The vet called me with the results and today I had those faxed to me to recall what they were. I know I probably should get another panel done but haven't done it yet. She's gained about 100# throughout the winter and appears healthier than she ever has in the 4 years I've owned her. Anyway below are the results...if anyone or the vets could provide me some layman's idea what all this means I'd appreciate it :-) ie...is there anything here to be concerned about? (I don't even know what all the abbreviations mean) ALB 2.94 g/dl ALKP 216 U/L AST 390 U/L BUN 18.3 mg/dl Ca 11.61 mg/dl CK 261 U/L CREA 0.79 mg/dl (identified on Low) GLU 107.3 mg/dl PHOS 2.77 mg/dl Na No values cited K 4.38 mmol/l Cl 107.4 mmol/l Thanks much...thoughts appreciated, Val
