I have a horse with a knee injury that has a lot of swelling and a low white blood cell count. Is this normal?

It is very difficult to provide helpful information on your question because we do not diagnose at a distance, but swelling in any joint is not normal. I would suggest consulting a veterinarian. You might consult more than one--it never hurts to get a second opinion before deciding on a course of action.
