Teddy has very low white cells now for 8 weeks, the main low ones out of the 5 are his Neutrophils and his Eosinophils

The MAIN worry is the Neutrophils, he is currently 1.5 should be 2.0 and above, His total white cell counts have been 2.9 2.6 low 3's and 4.7 they are going up and down.

We have checked for tick disease, and other infections all clear.

It looks like it may be a BONE CANCER.

The vets think he may have a bone marrow problem, We can't put him through a bone marrow biopsy as he has a heart valve problem.

We don't know what to do, he seems happy just a bit less active. ANYONE out there has anything similar please.

He is only 7 and we love him to bits.
