    My lab is suspect of leukemia

    Hello,

    My labrador retriever is 13 years old male, his name is Oscar. 3 days before he started to feel very ill, he stopped barking, hair started to fall and he is loosing weight (he is now 36). The vet took some blood tests and i attached the results. He also made ultrasounds and discovered some heart problems (liquid and bigger in size). Can anyone please, tell me what that results mean? Please tell me how bad they are.

    Thank you very much

    That bloodwork looks pretty messed up. I'd do a biochemistry panel too, also test for tick borne diseases and heartworm, just to rule these out. His white blood cell count is high and his red blood cell count is low.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for your boy.

    Just saw his platelet count is low too, definitely rule out tick borne diseases, babesiosis, erlichiosis and boreliosis.
