I finally got the full report. Most things look good, but there were many 'slightly toxic heterophils' which she said may indicate an infection he is fighting off. We took the blood after he was already on the meds for a few days, so it might show an improvement. She wants to continue the meds for another two weeks and then recheck, so that's what I will do.
Not a fan of the word toxic, but I think it just shows something wrong.

Hopefully the recheck will show far fewer if any toxic heterophils. Found an interesting but technical article. See bottom right P-186 and upper left P-187. http://avianmedicine.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/9.pdf

Thank you again :07:
