It's sounds like you're doing fine, Gretchen, and thanks for your kind thoughts. You can't go wrong with balanced raw food and probiotics.
In general, blood tests are secondary to symptoms in the hierarchy of importance. In fact, I'll be in the November issue of Dogs Naturally (a great holistic dog mag, btw, if you haven't seen it yet) discussing just this: Treating the animal, not the numbers!
So, symptoms are a good indication there's something going on. I've got a page about this here. My clients log symptoms and learn what the patterns are in them (this one is worse at night, that one after eating, etc.). You could do this also, and when you're ready to call in a homeopathic vet, you'll be way ahead of the game!
