		<description>Good Evening, Beth.  re: rising IgA.  It is possible that the rise is a normal reaction to the bad cold that you reported in an earlier post. IgA normally reacts to infections of the intestine and mucus membranes.  If your M-spike has not risen (I believe you are reporting a .2Gm/dl), the IgA may be a normal increase.  In this case, your immune system is doing what it is supposed to do: create antibodies against viral infections.
Best regards, and the new pup looks like a good dog!
