I urge you to address this now. You have a much better chance of

Hi Wendy,
I'm guessing that a persistent low white blood cell count leaves
Ember (or any other animal in that boat) open to infection from
otherwise harmless germs.

Hi Nina and Cindy,
Thanks for the info and anecdotal experience. I know that my vet uses
IR with dogs. I'm assuming he uses it for the skin problem that is
its "on label" purpose. I'm not sure if he'd go for IR with Ember,
but if we don't see better results in a month, I'm going to press hi
Hi Nina,
Thank you for your kind words and the info you looked up. It matches
some of the things I found about low wbc. Unfortunately, my vet
didn't have any sort of recommendation, other than to come back in a
