Re: blood tests how to read them?

Val, the vet spoke so fast without gaps lol, i had to keep butting in to ask her questions and write things down.

as far as i can remember, she said that the high hormone levels were a sign of seminoma. to be sure, a sperm sample could be taken as that is where the rogue cells would be. or words to that effect.

he has no lumps other than what should be there and that the hormone levels are the first sign before any lumps have developed or testicle becoming abnormally large. that is when they usually pick it up as people dont ask for a sex hormone profile.

she had a hard time convincing labs to do it. they said they only needed to do testosterone levels.

:-\ not sure what to think really. the vet is waiting for me to book Max in for castration.
