How are anemic cats treated?
If your cat’s anemia is life-threatening, a blood transfusion is needed. This may be performed immediately after a blood sample is taken for testing. The main purpose of a blood transfusion is to stabilize the cat long enough that a determination of the cause of the anemia can be made. Further treatment will be determined once the underlying disease has been diagnosed. ——————————————————————————– This client information sheet is based on material written by Ernest E.
