Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It sounds like infection. I would suggest 6-7 days of antibiotics treatment and then repeat the test. Alternatively, sending off blood for a smear evaluation will be a good option to differentiate infection from other (rare) causes of neutrophilia, like neoplasia and bone marrow diseases.
