Without knowing the whole history of Bingo and what is going on with him it is difficult for me to properly assess these values. If Bingo is acting normally, then none of these values worry me. The ALP is a value found in the liver but can also be found in the bones and muscles and can be seen slightly elevated with arthritis. The globulins can be elevated secondary to dehydration or an infection, but if he is acting normally, I wouldn't get overly concerned due to his WBC being normal. The globulins are part of the Totally serum proteins which is why this value is also elevated. All of his other liver and kidney values look normal which is great. I hope this helps!
