Best Answer

White cells exist to destroy bacteria, and 'low' doesn't mean bad. There should not be white blood cells in urine or Complete Blood Count. If a person or dog has good health, and has never had to fight diseases, the white cell count has no reason to increase and will remain low. When infection or allergy occurs, white blood cells increase. In urinary infection, there may be WBCs in the urine. Once antibiotics are started, WBC counts drop, e.g. they return to the normal baseline of zero to few present.

Only in cancers and HIV do WBC soar. Treatments are aimed at reducing WBC counts.

NOTE: Red Blood Cells are a different story. RBC should be present, and within normal limits. Low RBC can indicate anemia or even just dehydration.
