Hey Daysha!
That tells me that this may just be a transient symptom secondary to her zoomies and knocking in to something, a bug, etc.
If her BEAM drops (whether or not the symptom persists) you may want to get her in for a vet exam and bloodwork next week.
BTW-Do you have any B12 or propolis...
Hi Bubbs! Welcome to HA! and thanks for making your first post.
Thank you as well for coming to today's Q&A.
I'm sorry to hear about Murphy's stress diarrhea with blood. :confused:
Yes, as we discussed today stress can bring on diarrhea (as it can with many symptoms).
The body exists in a...
No worries here!
If her BEAM drops or she starts having frequent or difficult urination, perhaps repeat the urinalysis. And if you do then also ask for a "UPC" test (urine protein:creatinine ratio) which is the best way to define any protein in the urine is an issue.
Also, perhaps see if she...
The very best option is to let the kitty live his best life. That may be with or without fleas and worms as long as he seems happy.
Animals in the wild commonly live with all kinds of "parasites". Yet they are fine.
It's often our conception of how they should be living that creates our own...
Here's one similar human case of high cholesterol after covid vaccination:

Great!
Hmm. They can last anywhere from days to years. It depends on the individual.
BEAM and other early warning signs.
Not me. But Dr. Sarah Myhill's webinar in your HA! member are discusses the use of iodine a bit.
The high cTSH should be normal by the next time you repeat these thyroid tests. All else looks good. Do you have any prior thyroid test results for comparison?
Yes, that would be a great idea.
If he can tolerate any of the Vimergy Micro-C (or my vit C++) that would also be good to add.
Perhaps get some urine test strips to monitor his urine pH and protein at home.
Great question, thanks for asking Jen.
We can cover most general questions during a 15 minute HMDM call. When it comes to choosing remedies and when I will need to review Ned's records, we need a 20-30 minute recheck/"official" appointment.
I couldn't agree more!
I don't think vaccine-associated hypercholesterolemia has ever been documented in the dog.
Let's see what the repeat test shows and possibly then write up Aspen's case for the AHVMA journal.
That usually is enough time to clear the gross lipemia found at the lab.
Her high cholesterol may be from hypothyroidism. Did the vet possibly add on a free t4 to her tests (which only show a total t4)?
Great!
Was she fasted (at least 8-10 hours) for the tests?
The lab form indicates: SPECIMEN REQUIRED ULTRACENTRIFUGATION DUE TO GROSS LIPEMIA
Which means that many of the results (especially cholesterol) may be affected.
You may need to repeat the tests when she is fasting. Let's see what...
Hi Amelie!
I'm sorry to hear that Bonny is sometimes refusing to walk. Being outside, playing, going for walks and hikes are typically a flat coated retriever's favorite things.
Yes. The diagnosis of hip dysplasia can not be made definitively without them.
Since she has been low energy and...
Hi Linda!
I'm so sorry to hear about your sweet girl's seizures. :confused:
Oy...
Does she have any mobility issues? How is she with going up and down stairs?
Great question Linda! Personally, I'm very slow to start phenobarb, but Aspen's cluster seizure cycle had to be stopped.
If...
What did your vet think of her exam at that time?
Sure, thanks for asking! There are lots of homeopathic resources in your HA! member area.
Dr. Judy Herman is an HA! faculty member that also offers private appointments. Drs. Todd Cooney, Adriana Sagrera and myself also offer 1:1 homeopathic...
Good work with your kitten Joanne!
Great question. The answer depends on the full energetic context and balance of your kitten.
By that I mean that it is different for every individual. Depending on things like genetics, vaccinations, environment, etc.
Since not eating or gaining weight is...
