My Lab has a swollen leg. What do his blood test results show?

Question

My lab is 4 years old. He has some swelling in his ankle and he is in under treatment by phenobarbitals for sezeiur for two years. Before three months he was being suffered from gastrointestinal problem, after medication this problem occured further but not severe as previously had. Now I decided for blood test and got these result. Kindly suggest me everything is all right or any treatment in needed. Thanx. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately I would ask for a blood test that checks the albumin level as if that is low it can cause edema in the legs. He also should have his urine tested and be tested for tick borne disease. He has a mild increase in a liver enzyme that is likely from the phenobarbital. I’m not worried about anything else. But they have not found out WHY he has a swollen leg. I’d request the above. I wish you the best
