This could be Cushing's disease or a liver condition/infection (due to the fever). Apparently your dog used up a lot if not all of its first line defensive cells (granulocytes), so your dog likely has been ill for a while. That is all I can tell you without the chance of giving your dog a hands-on exam.I suggest you go ahead with the test for Cushing's disease to rule this out and then go on from there.
