Based on those bloodwork findings here are some possibilities: kidney disease, infection, immune mediated hemolytic anemia, bone marrow disease, prostatic benign hyperplasia, prostatic cancer or a prostatic infection. I would follow up with an abdominal ultrasound to evaluate the prostate even further and possibly get samples from it to see if it is infection, cancer or benign tumor and then starting treatment for the anemia (if severe). If Tyger has been diagnosed with IMHA, steroid and antibiotic therapy should have already been initiated by your veterinarian. If you wish to discuss Tyger’s case in more detail feel free to request a consultation request. We will be able to review the entire bloodwork and exam findings (if you have the medical records), to perhaps narrow down some of the possible causes for his illness. Best wishes moving forward with Tyger’s care.
