It depends on what is causing the anemia. FeLV can cause the blood cells to not 
form correctly,  making them unable to multiply. That's what has happened to 
all mine that have died from it. There is nothing you can do about that.
Sometimes it is Hemobartonella, caused by fleas, which can be hard to detect. 
The treatment for that is Doxy, which usually starts working pretty quickly.

There are others here who have dealt with other causes of it who may have more 
suggestions.

Good luck.
