So parasites just happen? I felt so guilty when I heard his diagnosis. Here are his blood results so you can tag the person
Drogon looked well externally today, his fecal analysis showed some parasites and he was prescribed a dewormer.
His white blood cell count is elevated which is indicative of an infection or inflammation and his lymphocyte count is high which are his antibody producing cells. His internal body function test was normal, mild discrepancies in his blood gases and ionized calcium was normal.
We would like to recheck him in 4 weeks when he is done with his medications, any concerns prior please call.
