    Belle’s veterinarian went through the usual procedures, checking her temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate, all of which were within normal limits. There were no significant findings in Belle’s physical exam, either.

    • Complete blood count: mildly low platelets at 190,000, otherwise normal
    • Chemistry: mild elevation in Alk Phos – 143 mg/Dl
    • UA: no significant findings
