I have a 7 and 1/2 year old Marshall Farms female. I noticed that she was starting to loose some fur on her neck. So off to the vet we go to check on her adnernal glands. The vet did a cbc and it came back with only 27% red cell count and 3/4 of the lymphocytes were blast cell. He done biopsies on lymph gland in neck and bone marrow thinking lymphoma. Well good news, the test were negative for lymphoma (it was a long couple of days). My question is, could adnernal glands be causing this to show up on her cbc, or do we need to look for something like an infection.

Thanx for any input.
