How to determine whether a dog is anemia?

Dogs are a very common canine mammal and are also the pet with the highest feeding rate. What should I do if my dog ​​is anemia? I believe that dog lovers will change their mood when they see their dogs being in a bad mood all day. Today, the editor will let you easily solve the problem of dog anemia and make you happy to keep pets at home! What are the symptoms of anemia in dogs? Dogs are mentally depressed, have a decreased appetite, or are yellowed, thin, or have poor nutrition. The body is weak and weak, the hair is rough, it is shaking, it is difficult to stand on the ground until it is unable to rise, and the whole body is exhausted. Yes, these are some common phenomena of dog anemia! Anemia in dogs can be divided into four types: hemorrhagic anemia, hemolytic anemia, nutritional anemia and aplastic anemia. Below we will introduce to you every type of anemia in dogs:

1. Causes of anemia in dogs

1. Acute hemorrhagic anemia, and severe bleeding caused by trauma or surgery of the dog's internal organs (such as liver, spleen, cavity artery, vena cava, etc.) and external blood vessels, causing severe bleeding, causing sudden reduction of the body's blood volume.

2. Chronic hemorrhagic anemia is mainly caused by chronic gastric and intestinal inflammation, lung, kidney, bladder, and uterus hemorrhagic inflammation, resulting in long-term repeated bleeding.

3. In addition, canine hookworm infection can also cause chronic hemorrhagic anemia in dogs.

b), Hemolytic anemia:

Anemia caused by a large amount of damage to the red blood cells in dogs due to various reasons is called hemolytic anemia.

1. Caused by infectious disease factors. Such as leptospirosis, herpesvirus, trypanosoma, hemolytic streptococci infection, etc.

2. Toxic diseases. Heavy metal poisoning such as: lead, copper, arsenic, mercury, etc.: chemical drug poisoning: benzene, phenol, sulfonamide, etc. If the police dog inhales TNT explosives while performing a task, it can also lead to hemolytic anemia.

3. Antigen primary antibody reaction. Hemolytic anemia in newborn dogs is different from that of female dogs. After puppies eat breast milk, antigen-antibody reactions occur, resulting in hemolytic anemia in the puppies.

4. Other factors, such as hyperthermia, lymphosarcoma, myeloid leukemia, plasma hemoglobinism, and lack of erythrocyte pyruvate kinase, can all cause hemolytic anemia.

c), Nutritious anemia:

refers to anemia caused by dogs lacking certain hematopoietic substances, which affects the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which is nutritional anemia.

1. Protein deficiency: caused by insufficient protein intake in animals or chronic digestive dysfunction.

2. Trace element deficiency: iron, copper and cobalt deficiency, and iron deficiency anemia is common in clinical practice. Iron is an essential ingredient for hemoglobin synthesis: copper deficiency can also lead to a decrease in hemoglobin synthesis.

3. Vitamin deficiency: Deficiencies of vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, folic acid, niacin, etc. will all lead to disorders in the production of red blood cells and the synthesis of hemoglobin, causing nutritional anemia.

4. Most of the above factors are caused by the intestinal absorption function disorders caused by single food in dogs, chronic digestive tract diseases and intestinal parasitic diseases, which leads to nutritional anemia over time.

d), Aplastic anemia:

Aplastic anemia refers to anemia caused by the dysfunction of the bone marrow hematopoietic function in dogs.

1. Poisoning. Certain heavy metals, such as gold, arsenic, bismuth, etc.; certain organic compounds, such as benzene, phenol, trichloroethylene, etc.; certain excess therapeutic drugs, such as chloramphenicol, sulfonamide drugs. All can cause aplastic anemia.

2. Radioactive damage. Receiving large quantities of X-rays and certain radioactive elements can destroy bone marrow cells, red blood cells, osteoid cells and megakaryocytes, causing these cells to suffer irreversible damage and leading to the loss of hematopoietic function.

3. Certain diseases. Such as: chronic kidney disease, leukemia, hematopoietic organ tumors, etc., can all lead to aplastic anemia.
