It looks like sandy's white blood count is elevated which indicated her body is trying to fight off some type of infection or inflammation. I cannot read the bottom results. It also looks like your vet has written at the bottom that he is suspecting it might be ehrlichiosis. Ehrlichiosis is a tick born disease that can be treated with antibiotics. I would recommend to have her tested for that and treat accordingly. i hope this helps.
