Symptoms: Anemia

  The hematocrit (HCT) is not dangerously low. There is no immediate need for a transfusion. Most veterinarians do not transfuse unless that number is 11% or lower.

  The white blood cells are low which is a sign of viral infection, severe infection/sepsis or a bone marrow disorder. 

  The platelets are also low which can be a sign of an immune disease, or platelet destrucation (possibly by parasites).

  Low Rbc counts are referred to as anemia and can be a result of blood loss, active bleeding, bone marrow disease or excessive red blood cell breakdown that is seen in some immune diseases and toxin ingestion.

  Low Hgb levels indicate anemia, bleeding, or iron deficiency

  The high MCV and MCH indicate poorly oxygenated blood and vitamin deficiencies.

  I would recommend talking with and seeing a specialist. Electrolytes and a full chemistry should be performed as well.

  An ultrasound may be needed to check for bleeding, possible tumor, or possible inguinal lymph node enlargement.
