What is the platelet count and what else was off in the blood work?

Ellie had a low platelet count a couple months back.
It is possible that the platelets "clumped" in the tube and it looked low but wasn't. It was reran and came back normal. Both times it was sent to an outside lab. Ellie's vet says that when she is looking at platelets, she sends to the lab because in-house testing yields questionable results for this.

So it could be that this was an in-house test or that they clumped.
I would have it redone if it was low enough for concern.
