About Ron Hines
My name is Dr. Ron Hines and I am a retired veterinarian in Brownsville, Texas, that provides low-cost or free online consultations to pet owners worldwide.
At a time when Corporate and Big Pharma voices are most likely to be heard, I believe it is important for individuals like me to keep independent websites online. To cover the costs of this website, I rely on your Google AdSense ad clicks and your donations. If you find an ad running on my website that you find objectionable or misleading, let me know, and I will block it.
Laboratory Test Results and What They Mean
I spend much of my day reviewing blood chemistry values pet owners send me. Using that information and the pet’s medical and social history, I look for patterns that suggest one disease or another. Veterinarians' ability to obtain these blood values gives us tremendous insight into the processes occurring in your dog or cat’s body. But none of these tests are infallible. They sometimes fail to spot problems, detect problems that aren't really there, or give inconclusive results.
