Does anyone know if it takes awhile to produce red blood cells. I really thought it would be higher but am not complaining because at least it is going up!
So, now we just see what the tick testing says. Not sure if antibiotics will affect the antibody test???
If they are negative I'd like to send to North Carolina for Babesia and Bartonella since they don't test for those in Canada.
My regular vet is happy and supportive of us looking at this as a rare case. I hope that the internal vet also sees that something positive is happening and wants to investigate further.

Yay Timber!!!!
Even though the RBC isn't a huge jump, it's going in the right direction!!
This link may help you understand a bit more about the CBC. I found it so I would know what everything meant with Nanooks:
