These results do not test for infectious agents but do indicate an elevated white blood count which may be due to infection as well as damage to kidneys and liver. There are many infections which can cause similar results and you should monitor your other dog closely and ensure she is up to date with parasite prevention (especially tick prevention) and her vaccines as a general precaution, A blood test to rule out any eary indicators of disease may also be considered if you are worried
