My senior dog has high blood counts and won't eat. Is it serious?

Question

My dog (10 years old) has been going back and forth to the vets the past 6 months or so for refusing food, stomach sounds, whining and pacing, and she was only having a bowel movement once a week. She was in pain. So our vet did a complete senior blood profile. Her Retic count should be between 10-110, her's came in at 1,112. Her WBC should be between 5.50-16.90, her's is 89.49. Her LYM.

It looks like Jasmine may have a bone marrow cancer. The prognosis for this is generally poor and treatment may include expensive aggressive inpatient supportive care including possibly IV fluids, antibiotics, blood transfusions and forced nutritional support. Chemotherapy is the classic treatment for most types of bone marrow cancers. I recommend taking her to an oncology (Cancer) specialist at a specialty/referral hospital for a consult/workup to determine options and to discuss endpoints for humane euthanasia. Best wishes-
