RFK Jr's next victims...

The other day I posted, and since deleted, a question about treating a 12 year old staffy with high grade mast cell tumours. It was before our appointment with the oncologist. I am so glad I just asked him all my questions. Given our dog's overall condition he recommended trying a drug called Palladia for two weeks, then reassess. I couldn't have conveyed the information he had - additional screening, actually being able to examine our dog etc....

So long winded way of saying thank you to professionalism of the vets on here that didn't answer my question that really needed to be asked to our actual vet team.

I have a 12 year old Staffy that has a chronic back condition. We accidentally ran out of gabapentin so he had a few days without it. Asked vet about it and he seemed defensive and said it was his job to know.

I have seen wildly different recommendations for what constitutes low ferritin - some say <15, <15. I saw one person claim it should be 100. I understand that labs have reference ranges but what is the basis for ferritin should be a 100
