Nutritious anemia in dogs refers to the anaemia that occurs due to the lack of certain hematopoietic substances, which affects the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. It is mainly caused by lack of protein, iron, copper, cobalt and vitamins.
1. Symptoms of nutritional anemia in dogs:
Nutritional anemia develops slowly, mainly manifested as progressive weight loss, and malnutrition. The body is weak and weak, the abdomen is curled, the hair is rough, the visual mucosa is pale, the later exercise is very weak, shaking, difficulty falling to the ground and standing up, until you can't get up, and your whole body is exhausted.
2. Causes of nutritional anemia in dogs:
1. Protein deficiency:
is caused by insufficient protein intake by 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 hemoglobin synthesis, resulting in nutritional anemia.
The above factors are mostly caused by the intestinal absorption function disorders caused by single food in dogs, chronic digestive tract diseases and intestinal parasitic diseases, which lead to nutritional anemia over time.
III. Treatment of nutritional anemia in dogs:
ferrous sulfate 50 mg/kg body weight, orally taken 2-3 times/day.
Cobalt chloride 0.3% solution, orally take 3-5 ml/day.
Vitamin B15-10 mg/kg body weight, vitamin B125-10 ml/kg body weight, mixed intramuscular injection, 1 time/day.
Folic acid 1-3 mg/kg body weight, oral, 1 time/day.
In addition, glucose and a variety of amino acid preparations can be supplemented, which can help restore the body's function. It is also necessary to strengthen feeding, feed some vitamin tablets, calcium powder and other vitamin-enhancing substances, and provide foods rich in protein and high in vitamins.
