Hello! I have a gray Saluki whose bloodwork we have been tracking for a couple of years. Her white count is consistently low but her BEAM is great. My vet thinks it could be her normal. I have had her on Chinese herbal blend Concentrated Wei Qu Booster since the all with only a moderate change in WBC count. She is on a super low dose because y vet underbosses Salukis due to their potential sensitivities but I am wondering if the dose is too low. One of her brothers has that autoimmune poly arthritis (cannot remember the correct term), but that was brought on at a young age when heavily dosed with steroids after a spider bite, so pretty sure there is no link to immune system stuff. I also did not know if there was a connection to the gray color (genetically she is black with grizzle, self red and sable; it expresses as gray/agouti. Nothing to do with gene for merle, etc).
She is potentially to be bred in the fall; my vet feels no risk.
Wasn't sure if any of the vets in here had seen bloodwork like this on normal dog or have any ideas. I don't want to "fix what ain't broke", but do want to be aware and proactive.
I will attach bloodwork results in comments, having trouble finding it to upload now.
Thank you! Cassandra
