face=Arial>I need some information from anyone who has had experience with
this. Maddie (who just turned 7) needed some dental work and had the
blood panel to make sure she could go under the anesthesia.
The results came back and in addition to an UTI which she is taking antibiotics
for right now she also has a very low albumin number. This has
something to do with protein and the liver but I really didn't understand
everything the vet said. She has recommended doing an ultrasound to
see what shows up so that we can treat anything which is causing
this. Maddie seems very healthy - just like she always is. Her
appetite is good and she is a happy dog, especially when she is bossing Rocky
around. I'm thinking we should probably do the ultrasound but since
my husband is still unemployed and funds are getting quite low the $500 is a lot
at this time. But we are committed to taking care of our kids just
like everyone else on this list. Has anyone had experience with a low
albumin number and what was done about it? I will appreciate any and
all responses. </FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Also I just wanted to mention that I really liked the way the
calendar dates were handled this year. I wasn't able to get my choices in
right at 10:00 and was about 20 minutes late for that but did get one of my five
choices so I am happy. This seemed a lot less complicated that
previous years with Cecil Graphics. </FONT></DIV>
