The pic you sent does look like what Chloe has. I don't know why he felt she had flea bites. I am concerned with the meds she is taking and will talk to the Vet about this. If the high count is not caused by the meds, do you have any idea what else it could be? This worries me more than anything at this point. You have been so helpful. Joy and Chloe 
I am wondering if her shot was given right before the blood work....just now thought of that! Oh man!!!!  |
ok that sounds better please list all meds and shots so i can help but sounds like steroids and antibiotics
covenia is an antibiotic shot - staph is nasty and is hard to kill but i would not do surgery while this is going on - is your dog having a lot of probs with patella popping out? i think many times they are too quick to do surgery as little dogs can live with LP unless severe just have to keep the weight down. I still STRONGLY advise dermatologist at this point as this vet is WAY off base in my opinion
