Unlike dogs, cats do not require much attention from their owners. This may be one of the reasons why more and more people keep cats as pets. However, this also leads to the fact that when there is a health problem in a cat, if the signs are not obvious, we often ignore it. Feline anemia is such a disease that is easily ignored by owners. Next, the editor will analyze the causes of cat anemia for everyone, let’s learn about it together.

Feline anemia can cause a series of phenomena such as weight loss and weakness in cats. There are many causes of anemia in cats, such as nutritional anemia caused by long-term nutritional deficiencies; hemorrhagic anemia caused by excessive blood loss due to trauma, infectious diseases, and parasites. Hemolytic anemia caused by parasites, etc. For anemia caused by different reasons, symptomatic measures need to be taken to prevent the cat's anemia from becoming more serious and even threatening the life and health of the cat.

Causes of anemia in cats:

1. Nutritional anemia

Cat nutritional anemia refers to anemia caused by a long-term lack of protein or iron, copper, cobalt, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid in the cat’s feed. For anemia caused by this reason, changes must be made in feeding. First of all, don’t just feed a single cat food for a long time. You need to feed meat and vegetable and fruit food. For meat, you can feed some chicken liver and duck liver appropriately, but don’t feed it too much. In addition, feed some beef and fish. For vegetable and fruit food, you can feed carrot puree and apples. The puree is supplemented with vitamins and folic acid, and then the raw blood ointment is mixed with food and fed to the cat.

2. Blood loss anemia

Blood loss anemia in cats is caused by injuries, such as trauma, rupture of internal organs (such as liver, spleen), or blood vessel damage caused by surgery. Is anemia in this case a complication, or does it require timely treatment? Deal with the cat's condition and take the cat to the pet hospital for a check-up without delay. After handling the cat's condition, you can feed nutritious food in daily feeding, and then mix the raw blood ointment into the cat's food for feeding.

3. Hemolytic anemia

Hemolytic anemia is generally caused by hemolytic toxins produced by certain infectious diseases and parasitic pathogens, which destroy the red blood cell membrane. For this infectious disease, you still need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time. If it is parasitic If it is caused by worms, you need to take your cat for deworming. Don’t delay. After the cat's condition stabilizes, adjust the diet. In daily feeding, the raw blood ointment can be mixed with food and fed to cats.
