What do dogs eat for anemia?

Foods for dogs with anemia include:

1. Feed donkey-hide gelatin powder, but only add a little bit each time, about a quarter of a teaspoon.

2. Feed some animal livers, and supplement iron and vitamin B6 to dogs. You can feed beef liver, chicken liver, chicken heart, etc., pay attention to the right amount, and need to be cooked without any seasoning. The iron content in animal liver is several times that of ordinary meat, so liver is the first choice for iron supplementation, but because many pet owners may not be easy to grasp the amount, it may cause vitamin A poisoning in dogs, so it is recommended to feed beef, mutton and blood Tofu.

3. Supplementing folic acid can improve the utilization rate of iron. Folic acid and other ingredients can help iron to be transformed, and then used by the body to promote the formation of hemoglobin. Liver, kidneys, and poultry eggs are rich in folic acid. For dogs, you can also consider adding spinach and broccoli to the diet. You can also feed some multivitamin tablets appropriately, and supplement niacin and a variety of B vitamins at the same time.

Causes of anemia in dogs:

1. Hemorrhagic anemia: Acute hemorrhagic anemia, the dog's internal organs and external blood vessels rupture due to trauma or surgery cause massive bleeding, causing the body's blood volume to suddenly decrease. Chronic hemorrhagic anemia, mainly due to chronic stomach, intestinal inflammation, lung, kidney, bladder, uterine hemorrhagic inflammation, resulting in long-term repeated bleeding. In addition, hookworm infection can also cause chronic hemorrhagic anemia in dogs.

2. Hemolytic anemia: Caused by infectious disease factors: such as leptospirosis, herpes virus, trypanosoma, hemolytic streptococcal infection, etc. Poisoning causes: such as heavy metal poisoning (lead, copper, arsenic, mercury). Chemical poisoning, etc. Antigen-antibody reaction: hemolytic anemia in newborn dogs, because the blood type of the newborn dog is different from that of the female dog. After the puppies eat breast milk, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs, leading to hemolytic anemia in puppies. Other factors: factors such as febrile disease, lymphosarcoma, myelogenous leukemia, plasma hemoglobinemia, and erythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia.

3. Nutritional anemia: protein deficiency: caused by insufficient protein intake by animals or chronic digestive dysfunction. Trace element deficiency: clinically common iron deficiency anemia, iron is an essential component of hemoglobin synthesis, copper deficiency can also lead to decreased hemoglobin synthesis. Vitamin deficiency: deficiency of vitamin B1, vitamin B12, etc. will lead to obstacles in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in nutritional anemia.

4. Aplastic anemia: poisoning: certain heavy metals, such as gold, arsenic, bismuth, etc. Certain organic compounds such as benzene, phenol, trichloroethylene, etc. Some overdose of therapeutic drugs, such as chloramphenicol, sulfa drugs, can lead to aplastic anemia. Radiation damage: Extensive exposure to X-rays and certain radioactive elements can destroy bone marrow cells, red blood cells, osteoid cells, and megakaryocytes, causing irreversible damage to these cells and resulting in loss of hematopoietic function. Certain diseases: such as chronic kidney disease, leukemia, hematopoietic organ tumors, etc., can lead to aplastic anemia.
