ugggh-Joby's white count is back up to 36.6!

scarlett · 07-01-2005, 10:31 AM

Hi all, I am so discouraged

when we drew his first CBC
and he was Dx'ed with pneumonia, his white count was 39.
then it went to 26 after a week of meds. now a week later it is up from 26 to 36! I have not seen the other numbers-so I don't know his diff.... but he doing well other wise---except for his cough which is still productive. Gaining and playing fine....... help! The vet will call me this PM.

Oh, I hope the vet can figure out what is continuing to keep that count up so high. I'm glad Joby's feeling better though. The pneumonia seems to be on the out, but maybe the vet will help it along with another round of antibiotics...

okay they call Virginia Tech again. We are going to have to do a culture of his sputum and some other things. The only good thing is he is not anemic anymore. ( I have been loading him up with a good diet....)

What were his other levels like? Any indication of a kidney issue?

well they are only checking his CBC....he is not anemic anymore (yea)
but with his cough they are still looking at pneumonia-----and now I have to call the breeder back and try to get another dog? But we want Joby, so I don't know what to do...................
