I was more concerned about the Lymphocytes which was at 18 and the Absolute lymphocyte which was at 864. I was wondering if I should go ahead and get the IFA test done. I think I am hoping against hope as I think I know that she does have Felv. I wish that I could treat her ear problems but it does not seem that any treatment has worked.
