Roy, 10 months old male GSD, has been lethargic for the past 3-4 days. Not himself in terms of activity. He eats, drinks, pees and poops as usual. But because I am not used to him lying down for a long time and not harassing me to play with him, I took him to the vet. She took his temp. and examined his ears and all was just fine. At the clinic he was evry alert running around, sniffing and playing with people. I was still concerned with him being lethargic so I asked the vet. to do blood works although she didn't think it was necessary... she was trying to save me the expenses. The results came back this morning. All his organs, kidney, liver and pancreas, are just fine. Only thing that his white blood cells' count is below normal .... i.e. anemia.
What could have caused this ? Food ?
My vet wants to do another blood test next week and if the blood cells count isn't improving she wants to test his marrow.
I am really worried, can someone help with an opinion or an experience.
Thanks
