Thank you Hazel, MaxaLisa,

Might not get any results back until tomorrow because my vet is a mobile vet and the samples go to the university here.

When her blood was taken it was very dark compared to a few weeks ago when it was thin and light colored. Hopefully that means better results

Tick testing to Toronto but just antibody testing for the common ones in Canada. Not for Bartonella or Babesia and it sounds like the specialist doesn't believe we get these diseases here even though I talked to someone from North Carolina State Testing Lab and they have a few cases in their database. The thing is, they just don't have a lot of data from Canada. How can we say something isn't here if we don't test for it? I know it might be rare but think it would be good to rule out especially if they require different antibiotics for treatment.

That's to say IF she has a tick disease I guess. I asked if her RBC came up would that mean it wasn't cancer? It would have to remain elevated and not drop back down.

Still a mystery I guess so one day at a time.
