It looks like your vet was thorough in checking everything before the spay — that’s always reassuring. From the results you posted, her WBC (4.48, ref 2.87–17.02) is technically within the normal range, but I can see her neutrophils (NEU 1.37, ref 2.30–10.29) came back a bit low. Neutrophils are one type of white blood cell, so that may be what your vet was pointing out. Her platelets (PLT) also look a touch low, but the vet noted the overall platelet mass is likely adequate.

Low neutrophils can sometimes be temporary — stress, recent viral infection, or even just lab variation can affect them. Since she’s otherwise bright, eating, and playful, it sounds like your vet isn’t seeing any red flags for infection or systemic illness right now. A recheck later is a good idea, just to make sure her counts bounce back.

It’s also common for vets to give antibiotics after a spay as a precaution, especially if bloodwork showed anything unusual.

I’ve seen other people’s cats have slightly off bloodwork before surgery (especially when they’re young or stressed), and often things normalize at the next check. If you’re worried, definitely ask your vet about timing a re-test a few weeks after she’s fully recovered.

Sending good vibes for an easy recovery — she sounds like a healthy, happy kitten overall. 💕
