The only real abnormality is a lower than normal platelet count. Often times this is a machine error but I recommend to have this value rechecked. You make all your veterinarian and ask if they can manually count the platelets. This is often the best way to know if the platelet count is normal or not. Have this done before his surgery. Best of luck.
