Help Needed! Off the chart lymphocytes

[RiiSi]

Does any one have any experience on lab results that has lymphosytes and white bood cells off the chart? I'm trying to get an appointment with a specialist, but the earliset is 3 weeks from now. Doggie is still doing well.

Sorry, cannot offer any advice, but Castor sends a big hug and a "hej" to your pup.

Immune system down n cells aren’t producing through the bone marrow. Question....Is it on the high side or low?

Normal is usually between 800 and 5000 (0.8-5.0) 18-45% of total white blood cells.

5.10 is the top normal range and this one has 59,15.

Holyyyyyy...... as you know it can be an infection, inflammation and some forms of cancer or leukemia. That’s an extremely high count.

Definitely wait for the specialists. I know you’re a smart cookie n know your breed. But that issue can be any breed. Inflammation usually starts with food. Idk what your dogs are eating but if it’s kibbles check the sugar content. If they eat raw it’s not that for sure. I know you heard me say this often but frankincense promotes the regeneration n renewal of new healthy cells and repairs damaged cells. I always read your posts n i know youre knowledgeable on oils. But yes see what the specialist says n do check up on frankincense as it really promotes n repairs damage cells. Just a thought Missy. Please let me/us know. I’m curious.

Crazy the deaf dog had crazy off the charts readings when she was a puppy. spent a lot of days in the hospital. A drug cocktail of two different antibiotics finally helped. Hope you find what your pooch needs.

Maybe there’s an infection going on maybe not.
Fear can elevate short term says this source...

“Lymphocytes
Lymphocytes, the second most common white blood cell in the body, are important for immune response. Lymphocytes are further categorized as T cells or B cells, and both types of lymphocytes are triggered into action when they encounter antigens, which are specific proteins on the surface of an invading microorganism.

“T cells control the immune response at the cellular level by helping to activate other immune cells,” says Dr. Barger. “B cells produce antibodies in response to antigens. Because these antibodies are released into fluids in the body rather than acting at the level of the cell, B cells are part of humoral, not cellular, immunity.

“When there is lymphocytosis, which is an increased number of lymphocytes, it could mean there is an immune response, possibly secondary to vaccination or it may indicate a fear or excitement response,” Dr. Barger notes.

Fear stimulates a fight-or-flight response, releasing epinephrine, which causes lymphocyte numbers to increase for a short time.”

I have no first hand experience to draw upon.
What did your Vet have to say? Why a specialist?
