The high end platelets can be a sign of an inflammatory process or infection.
Although none of the blood counts are elevated, I am concerned about the percentage of neutrophils to lymphocytes. The neutrophils should top out at about 77% and the lymphocytes should bottom out at about 12%. The makeup is still within normal limits, but it's at the edges and with the high end platelets, I think this indicates something, just not sure what.

I have usually avoided pork as I thought the fat content may be too high for her with her tendency towards pancreatitis - but I have just done some quick research on it and it appears to be lower in fat than beef??? If that is the case I would certainly give it a try. And also add some green beans and flaxseed. Is that balanced though - or should I also add the Dr Dobias vitamins and minerals to it?
Despite the blood tests she has had with her own vet and Dr. Dodds, I have never been alerted to an issue with lymphocytes or neutrophils and I did not realise her readings were significant. Is it something I should be concerned about or just something I should monitor?
