can a cat give anemia to a dog?

Answer 1

Anemia is low blood iron. It is not a disease and is not contagious. A cat cannot give it to a dog. Fleas can cause anemia in both dogs and cats because they suck the animals' blood. Some animals have flea allergies, which make their reactions even worse.

Get your first flea treatment (like Advantage) from your vet. Do not buy the grocery-store stuff; it usually makes animals very sick. Then, when you know what works and how to use it, you can buy it online for much cheaper.

There are other reasons for anemia, as well, which all have to do with health concerns and diet (as with people). The vet can help you with it.

Answer 2

There are a lot of causes for anemia, which is a low red blood cell count. Either an animal isn't making enough new ones to replace the ones that die normally, or there are too many cells dieing at once and the animal can't keep up. There are some contagious diseases which could cause this, but it isn't usually transmitted directly from animal to animal. Your best bet would be to have both animals examined by your vet.
