The treatment methods for kittens with hemolytic disease are:

1. Isolate from the female cat, artificially breastfeed or choose female cats of the same blood type to feed; in severe cases, supportive therapy is used.

2. When a newborn kitten has reddish-brown urine, it should be immediately isolated from the mother cat for 24 to 48 hours to prevent it from breastfeeding again. During the isolation period, the kittens should be given artificial milk supplements.

3. When a patient kitten shows symptoms of severe anemia such as hypothermia, hypoglycemia, dehydration, and ion disorder, further supportive therapy is necessary, that is, blood transfusion through intramarrow injection.

The causes of hemolysis in cats are:

1. The causes of hemolysis in cats include poisoning, autoimmunity, genetic factors, blood transfusion, blood protozoa, etc.

2. Secondly, it should be considered that the cat has secretly eaten onion, ginger, and garlic food eaten by humans, causing the cat to develop hemolysis. At this time, you need to take the cat to the pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3. Finally, it is necessary to consider the hemolysis of cats caused by tick bites. Further blood smear examination is required to confirm the diagnosis, and then treatment is carried out according to the relevant examination results.
