l have to agree with you DuleekDandy. Greyhounds body chemistry is so diverse from all other breeds. We have lost count over the years how many times we have been told over the years by vets, after a blood test,that our greys creatinine levels are slightly elevated. They also tend to have slightly lower protein levels than other breeds. lt is well worth the effort to study as much as you can about greyhound anatomy as they are complete freaks (l mean that in the nicest sense) where their physical and biological construction is concerned. l sometimes wonder if they are dogs....or if they have been beamed down from the Mother Ship. l think ours certainly were. lol.

Tessie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Tessie is with us. She is making slow progress, still very timid and scared of everything but slowly gaining confidence and recognising this house as home. Has been very good toilet wise, no accidents so far, fingers crossed, and peaceful overnight. Tilly has been very patient and helpful, she is a lovely girl, they both are!

I am sure your vets are experienced & know all about the differing bloodwork in Greys, but scroll down and have a look at Creatinine. Creatinine Greyhounds: .8 - 1.6 Other dogs: .0 - 1.0 Greyhound creatinines run higher than other breeds as a function of their large lean muscle mass. A study at the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine found that 80% of retired greyhounds they sampled had creatinine values up to 1.6 times as high as the top of the standard reference range for "other dogs." As a lone finding, an "elevated creatinine" is not indicative of impending kidney failure. If the BUN and urinalysis are normal, so is the "elevated" creatinine. I was told Bob had very low WBC (white blood cell count) but it was in fact quite normal - his was 3.5 Greyhound: 3.5 - 6.5 Other dog: 6.0 - 17.0 https://www.gcnm.org/bloodwork.html
