Can Cats Become Anaemic?

July 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Cats can suffer from anaemia. This occurs when there is a reduction in the number of red blood cells, normally associated with low iron content. There are a number of causes for anaemia in cats, including:

  • Blood loss following injury.
  • Cancer.
  • Viral feline leukaemia
  • Infestation of internal/external parasites.
  • Poisoning
  • Major organ disease.
  • Inadequate diet.

Treatment varies and depends on diagnosing the cause.
