Veterinary post

Yesterday I asked for blood test to check everything was fine before we go home to Sweden. The erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, AspAT and total protein are elevated above maximum of normal levels. 

Erythrocytes: The red blood cells. 
Hemoglobin: The protein (in red blood cells) which binds with oxygen and transports it through the body. 
Hematocrit: The volume percentage of erythrocytes in the blood. 
AspAT: Aspartate transaminase is an enzyme of the liver. 
Total protein: A biochemical test used to measure the total amount of protein in serum
Serum: Fluid phase of 
clotted blood.

So the results just shows that she was dehydrated. It is probably because we had taken a long walk to the clinic in the hot weather. The liver enzyme is a bit elevated, so I went back to the clinic and asked about it, but they say it is fine it might just be temporary and there is nothing to do when it still is this low. So I am going home on Tuesday with a perfectly healthy dog.
