Blood test results pulled for my gelding note that the specimen was severely hemolyzed. Should I ask that he be retested?

Hello awa, It depends on what information that you wanted to get from tests, why the sample hemolyzed, and how bad the hemolysis is. Some tests results will be effected by hemolysis, others won't. Labs will generally list which tests are effected (it depend on the particular type of test run and will vary lab to lab) and how they are effected. Review these questions with your veterinarian to make a decision. DrO
