I'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?

A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.

I'm a bit worried because my guinea pig bit me on the finger about 10 days ago, but there wasn't any blood drawn. I've had a pretty thorough vaccination history with anti-rabies shots, like 5 full doses of Abhayrab in January 2021, 2 booster doses in August 2021, and another booster of Rabipur in September 2021. Now I'm wondering if I should get another booster dose? My guinea pig seems to be just fine and alive after these 10 days, but should I still be concerned?
you take vaccination.
