When all data are in, how is Joey to be treated and managed?
I am sure all here would wish to know how he is doing and what ails him.
I know you are very busy and stressed right now, but please update us when you are ready. Excuse the intrusion at this difficult time.

White count can be elevated for many different reasons, including stress. They also could be elevated due to a parasite...so if he did have one, it could be from that. Infection is often the cause, but not the only cause. I would think they probably did a differential and either decided it was due to stress or the parasite they said he had.
I think time will tell on this one....the fact he is responding to frequent feedings is a very good sign.
Did the breeder take him to the vet? I missed this part on the update.
