Yes Sue1,
MK and I are working on getting a system in place for figuring "normal" levels for blood work. We would like to have healthy iguanas having blood work done if at all possible. When I say "healthy" this means you are not taking your iguana into the Vet because of some medical problem. But if, your iguana has a medical problem we would like to see those labs too, ( but "marked" as possible health problems, so we can keep them seperated.
When the time comes we will need volunteers to be in the study. The following information will be needed:

Your Vets' Name, Address,Phone number and Email ( to be in this study the Vet needs to be online )

Also the name of the Labs your Vet uses,( if he uses more then one)we would also need the labs address, phone number and if possible email address.
I am currently working on a information sheet that you will have to fill out for us. As soon as MK and I work out the details on this sheet I will repost letting everyone know it's ready.

What we are hoping for is not only finding the "norm" for Iguana blood work but to also attempt to get labs to standardize the labs, so all blood reports will be on the same scale.
MK has said she will use space on her webpages for the results.
