Based on the symptoms you've described, it sounds like your dog is experiencing a potentially serious health issue. Her reluctance to walk, coupled with a loss of appetite, coughing, wheezing, fever, and changes in her blood cell counts, are all concerning signs. These could point to various conditions, such as respiratory infections, immune system disorders, or other systemic illnesses.

The fever of 104°F is particularly high for a dog, and the low platelet and white blood cell counts suggest that her immune system may be compromised. Additionally, the increased drinking and urination could be related to the fever or another underlying condition.

Given the severity of these symptoms, it's crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention. The combination of difficulty breathing and a high fever requires professional evaluation and treatment. A veterinarian can conduct necessary diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or ultrasounds, to identify the underlying cause and provide the appropriate care.

Please ensure you take your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible to get the care she needs. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
