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

Volunteered Jed as a blood donor at my vets today, he had the routine blood test. Vet surgery phoned to say he has slightly elevated kidney results! He has to have another test in two weeks now worried sick! I am hoping he was just dehydrated at the time of the test fingers crossed.

We had some wonderful news today. Mia's results came back and they are 95% certain that she does not have tumour! This means that, though her condition is described as "chronic", and she could well be on medication for the foreseeable future, she does definitely HAVE a future with us. We are so, so happy and relieved...it was far too soon to say goodbye to our darling precious girl. She knew that too, which is why she fought so hard to remain with us. Yes Snipe, we used Avonvale vets in Kenilworth and Warwick for her over the last couple of weeks and I simply cannot speak highly enough of them. xx

Just wondered if anyone had heard how Tessie was getting on in her foster home. She was so timid on wednesday when she went off. Hope she is feeling a bit more settled now.
