Lila’s blood test results
My bird vet (Dr Julie Burge) called me with Lila’s blood test results. Naturally I was at work so I got all this from voicemail. The vet was very happy with her white blood count. Normal is between 6,000 and 11,000. Lila’s is at 9,000…. Yay!! *\o/* However, the vet said her heterofils were slightly elevated. Huh? Hello Google, what the heck is a heterofil??? I read a few things and I still have no clue. The voicemail continued with her saying it was probably just her fighting some minor infection and we shouldn’t worry about it since her white blood count was so good, since 6 months ago it was up to 45,000.
Lila: Next vet visit I only want my talons trimmed and maybe a little taken off my wings. No more needles.
