My dog ill with symptoms of canine leukemia, blood and bone marrow show no cancer, tic test neg. what to do?
My dog a shepard/great dane mix 5 years old developed symtoms of canine leukemia over a 48 hour period. Bone marrow test and bloodwork show no cancer cells however but some bone marrow damage and very low white count. Tic test negative. Two local vets are baffled. He remains quite ill, is on antibiotics. Any suggestions or similar cases. Help!

WBC is an abbreviation for white blood cell count. These cells help fight infection and respond when an area of the body becomes inflamed. Elevated white blood cell counts indicate infection, inflammation and some forms of cancer or leukemia. Low white blood cells counts can indicate viral infections, bone marrow abnormalities or overwhelming infections and sepsis (blood poisoning). In this situation, the white blood cells are concentrated in the area of infection and are not circulating in the blood, resulting in a low count.
