Correction on Hooper

I talked to the vet myself today to clarify Hooper's blood work. This is another doctor in the office since the treating doctor is on vacation this week.There was a good deal of staph and white blood cells in her urine so we're starting a week of Simplicef (antibiotic). It probably explains why she's been sort of "off" recently. I can never tell if it's age and arthritis or something else bothering her. The WBC in her blood was mild, or what is commonly associated with parasites or allergies. I'll get the parasite results later today. Her kidneys, or what's left of them at this point, are functioning well and that is probably attributable to the K/D food she's been eating the last year or two. This doctor suggested the mass in her eye might even be left alone as long as it isn't bothering her. He's going to check it out when she comes in for a needle-aspiration urine check next week. I'm feeling a lot better about things now.
