So, Barkly's about to be 5

Isn't five the age where we're supposed to make note of normal levels in blood tests on dogs?

What all am I supposed to make sure is done? I don't think we can call this a senior panel yet, but I want to know what's normal for him before they have to do senior panels in a few years.

I just ask for a superchem including thyroid.  That covers all the basics. I don't think it would be any different in a dog, would it?

Happy birthday to you Barkly!  birthday1 love1

Okay. Thank you! It's not his birthday yet. It's over a month. But I want to have my notes ready for when it gets here at the end of January. :D
