[quote user="Stigen"]I think I`m going to run the bloods again! thanks. [/quote]

Def the best plan.

I left a blood sample rolling around in my handbag for a week. (it was only for T4 for checking levels on meds). Sometimes you just have to put your hand up, admit your 'oversight' and run another one FOC!

Definitely repeat bloods before diving into extensive investigations.

Fanconi syndrome?

I'd suspect hypoglycaemia might well be a storage artefact, hyperphos may be due to haemolysis, and high K/low Ca may well be EDTA contamination.
I'd repeat the basic biochem, but also consider urine sediment/culture +/- prostatic wash

I think I`m going to run the bloods again! thanks. At least the dog is healthy again now (not thanks to me though)

I would run the bloods again. I think at 6 days old I wouldn't be sure that the results can be considered reliable.

I think I would repeat the bloods on fresh samples, that have been collected and stored correctly. Maybe fructosamine too?
