Anemia, Canine and Feline - contd.
Some diseases that cause anemia are preventable. Newly introduced products that repel or kill fleas and ticks are both easy to apply and very effective. Diseases like the feline leukemia virus are preventable through limiting a cat's contact with other cats or by vaccination; cats at high risk for this virus, such as outdoor cats, should be vaccinated. Cats and dogs should not be given any drugs unless instructed to do so by a veterinarian; Tylenol, especially, can be fatal.
