Re: Whippoorwill Amulet (Bounce) - test results

Lorna asked:
I paused at that reading. Vet was aware of the protocols and I'm sure he did his best to meet them. Bounce was the last patient of the day and vet planned to go directly home. His home office is 15 minutes drive from the barn, and samples were to be processed and frozen on arrival and out by courier the next morning. Temps were Very Cold (-15C high) so not sure if that affects anything. He had results back to me within 3 days, so I'm sure every effort was made. Any other answer is purely speculative.
Leptin reading is slightly elevated as well - that's a "watch" warning.
He'll get a practice to do this again - on the second draw, and if necessary on the third draw. I'm right now down about $922 for everything so far, but it is nice to have science based answers and a few more questions.
