GR, Male, 7 years started panting. Treated by Vet 1, but panting came back again after 7 days of medication. Owner did not want blood test again.
I checked the Vet 1's report. Liver and spleen enlarged.
"Unable to do CBC as the machine cannot read the blood."
However, he did a blood smear (RBC NAD, large reactive lymphocytes 3+) and rectal palpation (enlarged prostate both sides). He did blood biochemistry - NAD
Recorded panting could be due to anaemia
Diagnosis: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia? prostatitis/BPH
Treatment: Tardak inj. and usual medication.
MY BLOOD TEST done without charging the owner
Total WBC 91 (6-17)
Marked luekocytosis with many abnormal cells seen. No platelet clumps seen.
RBC and Hb low --- anaemia
PCV 0.28, MCF low, MCHC low. Platelets low 196 (200-500)
What's the cause of this high WBC? Due to economic problems, the owner did not want any testing.
Could this be a case of tick fever? So far, the dog is still panting but is at home as the ladies do not want euthanasia.
Glucose 3.4 (3.9-6)
Hb 10.5 (12-18)

There is a marked leucocytosis with many abnormal cells seen. No platelet clumps.
Two blood tests showed similar leucocytosis. As to the cause, it is hard to say.
SGPT/ALT 122 (<59)
SGOT/AST 792 (<81)
Urea 7.6 (4.2 - 6.3)
Creatinine 132 (89-177)
Dog was euthanased on Jul 17, 2012 as he had deteriorated in health.
