Belinda,
Kerry's Bandy also had anemia and fevers at the same
time. She thought the dexamethasone helped with both, first in shot form
and then in pill form. However, I do not know if Bandy had high WBC. Steroids
can sometimes make it harder to fight infection, I think.

Hi Michelle, Yes that's about all I could find
too, my vet did suggest it could be from dehydration which he is very
slightly and I am giving him 100cc's a night, but I just started that, she
told me to up them to 150cc's. His CBC came back and his number is
holding at 18%-19% (the lab got 19%, she got 18% in house
yesterday). He does have a slight temp now so back on the antirobe,
and he is still getting the doxy too.
My vet is going to be out of town
in Chicago from Friday until Tuesday, I asked her what to look for if his
pressure were getting too low, she said he might collapse or his gums migh
look gray or turn blue ... comforting. She is going to come to the
house when she gets back to check and see what his blood pressure is
here.
I tasted the antirobe liquid and I know why he hates me now, that
is the grossest, bitterest stuff I have ever tasted. I got a couple
of capsules to try and if he takes those OK I will switch to that.
His white count is up to 20000 now so he is fighting an infection or
inflamation now too. Still testing neagative for hemo.
Well
better go give him his meds and feed him and give him his fluids, just
gave him his third epo tonight. I've been sleeping in the living
room on my inflatable matress which leaks, so in a few hours it's about
half empty. Bailey has been sleeping on it with me. Poor baby
