You have a right to find out lab results and your vet cannot withhold information from you regarding the diagnostics of your dog. I suggest you call your vet again and ask him to explain the results to you and also ask about treatment options. If your vet refuses to give you that information you may want to think about changing your vet and transfer all the medical records.
