We have the blood test results through and it is good news. She still has mild elevation in one liver enzyme (ALKP) but it has come down in the last few months. All other liver enzymes are normal. This is excellent news and means that we do not need to schedule any further blood tests for approximately 12 months. I will change the reminder to reflect this. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call. SincerelyDr Hannah BeveridgeDental care education and demonstrationPrescriptions(on-going) - Next Visit - 12 months for vacc and repeat bloods (comp profile)The above clinical notes were created with the assistance of Astro Scribe under the supervision of the consulting Vet.
