Why is my dog wbc so high as 30,000 ? Vet suspects tick fever as hes platelets and rbc are low and so is on doxy since 3 days . But now after 3 days hes front leg swollen. Is it possible that hes wbc go so high in tick fever ? However he also has ocassional watery reddish peniel discharge wich vet told coz of tick fever. However good thing is he has a decent appetite.
