Re: Wee Bit Advice Please

When I first got John (now deceased), his WBC count was four, the vet advised a bone marrow test and I am sure it was Jimmy who told me about greyhound blood and I changed vet who had no concerns, in fact he told me the WBC count between 3.5-6.5 was perfectly normal whilst for other dogs it could range from 6-17.

Celia and Jimmy know what they are talking about!

Hi Wendy,

To support what Jimmy was saying you can google Greyhound Blood Work and you get various websites to have a look at.

Here is a link to GreyHealth which is quite simply put.
Greyhealth Bloodwork website

Aggie Miller had an Issue with Keesha's bloodwork in the summer which she posted about on the G.R.F. Facebook page, You can always message her.

Hope you find this usefull and you get things sorted.

Re: Wee Bit Advice Please

Thanks George, Anji. I'm going to phone the vet tomorrow and cancel the next appointment but I will ask to speak to the vet rather than the receptionist to explain my reasons. Raven has only had the one tablet out of the 2nd lot of antibiotics, I'm not going to give her any more. I'm considering changing vet. I've not had any problems with them until now but the fact I challenged this several times and was still dismissed has angered me. The X-Ray's and surgery are performed at a different location to my routine appointments so it wasn't the vet we normally see who did the blood tests. I'll phone the regular one, hopefully she will be more aware of what the readings should be!
