Last year I received my first lab results for Chico. The vet office told me the labs looked fine. Six months later when sourcing a vet who can microchip a bird I found a prominent facility who specialized in birds with great pricing for this service. The founder of this facility is the developer of the AVID microchip. After Chico's first $300 wellness exam/lab price tag I felt a little shopping around for Chico's next wellness exam wouldn't hurt. Even though this new location was much further away I decided it would be worth the drive for a better facility and a savings of 50 to 100 dollars. At that time I requested a copy of Chico's lab results to bring with me to his next wellness exam in six months. When I received the labs I found his cholesterol to be 664! Normal range is 100-261. I put Chico on a reduced fat diet and was hoping for better labs in six months. I haven't received the lab results yet, 3-4 days processing time. The new A-vet didn't seem to be concerned about his high levels as he was not over weight. What do you think of her evaluation? Should I be concerned?
