In my practice, I see anemia frequently as I deal with senior pets, and terminally ill dogs and cats. Anemia is defined as a decreased hematocrit (HCT) or hemoglobin. Packed cell volume (PCV) is the same definition as hematocrit which is a calculated value from the mean cell volume and red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration, which are provided by blood analyzing machines. One of the main functions of red blood cells is the delivery of oxygen. When this is low, all body systems can slow quickly due to inadequate oxygen delivery.
One of the main functions of red blood cells is the delivery of oxygen.
Without adequate oxygen delivery, your pet may be weak, tired and lethargic, and in the worst cases unable to breathe well. You might notice his or her normally pink tongue or nose is pale. Anemia generally occurs as a result of another disease, you may also see signs of the underlying problem such as excessive drinking and urinating, vomiting, bloody or tarry stools or a bloated stomach, very dry coat, and or just generalized weakness. Anemia in Cats and dogs occurs when the HCT is below 25 in cats and below 30 in dogs. Cats below 15% and dogs below 20% are very serious anemia.
Anemia itself is not a disease — it is a sign of an underlying problem. So when your veterinarian says your pet is anemic, like me, we are going to recommend looking for an underlying reason. That will include additional testing such as blood chemistries, infectious disease testing, autoimmune testing, urinalysis, and imaging such as radiographs and or ultrasound depending on the presenting clinical signs.
Blood loss from autoimmune disease, bone marrow insufficiency, inadequate intake of iron, parasite infestation, or neoplasia. Other causes of anemia include anesthetic agents, tranquilizers which can result in apparent anemia due to physiologic reasons. In addition, young animals frequently have anemia due to rapid growth rate in the first few months of life (generally < 4 months old)
Anemia is treated according to its underlying cause; But if I am presented with an older patient with clinical signs of anemia such as a pale tongue, dry coat, smooth paw pads, and weak femoral pulses, I will treat additionally with supplements and food to combat blood deficiency which often accompanies anemia.
Food recommendations typically include blood enriching foods such as liver and beef.
Supplements include NHV Multi Essentials, Yucca, and Turmeric in addition to Chinese herbs, omega 3 fatty acids, and a change in diet. Treating the whole patient for anemia has the best chance for resolution.
If any of you have any questions about our cat or dog suffering from anemia, please contact one of the NHV pet experts!

NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
NHV Yucca is used for cats as a supplement to provide nutrients, and may be helpful for discomfort, inflammation, and to increase or balance the appetite.
Yucca is used in cat food as well as food for other animals around the world. Its root is a highly nutritious herb that’s rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus.
Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols) which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.
Steroidal saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on Yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort relief and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca for cats may also be a natural appetite stimulant and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some cats.
Yucca - Commonly used for supporting arthritis, as an anti-inflammatory, nutritive, antitumor, and digestive supplement.
