My dog's blood work is confusing: is she anemic? Found roundworms.

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 3 years and 4 months old | 57 lbs

Hi Experts.. Thanks for the previous reply, I am less worried now. I contacted the vet and he said that the blood report seems critical and Ghontu is critically anaemic. Could you please tell me if she is seriously having some disorders by referring to the blood report. I am again attaching the same. Also I am attaching the stool report. Could you kindly let me know whether there is hookworm presence detected? I am worried about her. Any help or medicinal product reference would be appreciated!

Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Since I have not examined Ghontu and I don't know anything about her history or exam findings, I would refer to your normal vet for guidance. However, the hematology report attached looks good to me - I am not seeing evidence of anemia, as Ghontu's PCV is normal. Her slight deviations out of the normal range of her neutrophils and lymphocytes would not have me worried either, unless there was something found in her exam to suggest that those were areas of concern. It looks like they did see a small amount of roundworm (ascarid) eggs in her stool, so she should be given a broad spectrum dewormer. I cannot give prescription medication advice without an exam, so again I would refer you back to your regular vet for deworming guidance. Hope this helps!
