    is all over the place - it means nothing. It's not the same as adult dogs.
  - - We did the pre-surgery bloodwork and later — Jacque, Gabby Jack Ranch, Thu May 17 03:17
      
      discovered that this vet never got the results prior to surgery! (A vet tech who used to work there gave me all of the truth about this vet...there is more. *sigh*)
