Okay, so some of those things we can't treat anyway, though there's no history of trauma severing blood vessels. Sample items: Parasites - fleas, ticks, hookworms. Tumors. Diseases, autoimmune, blood parasites, chemicals or toxins, or cancer. Well, http://www.wholisticanimal.com/ailments.asp?intl=true have alternative treatments for a variety of diseases. Similar products may be available locally. (This, incidentally, is where I bought Cansema last year.) http://www.wholisticanimal.com/remedies.asp?intl=true&aaid=370&animalid=2&ailmentid=127 Anemia Aplastic (for all species) Anemia in general Anemia, low red blood cell count Overview: Anemia, the condition of having lower than normal numbers of red blood cells called erythrocytes, can have many clinical manifestations. Affected animals often suffer from decreased energy levels, pale or yellowed gums, an increased heart rate, and an intolerance to exercise. Anemia itself is NOT a primary disease, but the result of an underlying disease process. i.e. Kidney Disease, and certain types of cancer etc. Aplastic Anemia Causes of non-regenerative anemia include ehrlichiosis, cancer, toxic reactions to vet drugs, house hold toxins, endocrine disease, kidney failure, severe inflammatory diseases, severe iron deficiency, heredity (gaint schnauzers) and a condition known as erythroid hypoplasis/aplasia. The function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the cells of the body. Erythrocytes are crucial to all animals, and a severe decrease in their number causes the body cells to go through the trauma of oxygen deprivation. Owners of an anemic animal may notice that their companion's gums are pale or white in color instead of the normal pink or red. Because the heart must work harder to provide oxygen to the starving body cells, dogs and cats with anemia have an increased heart rate. Having deprived the body cells of oxygen, anemia makes animals feel very tired and sick, and they will often show signs of depression. Puppies and kittens can become anemic from blood-sucking pests such as fleas and intestinal parasites. The disease also is caused by blood loss from trauma, feline leukemia virus, feline immunodeficiency virus, and cancer. Coneventional treatment involves correcting the underlying disease or problem, and giving a blood transfusion if needed. We are going to help rebalance and detox a pet who has this condition, as AA is essentially an autoimmune disorder. Homeopathic medicines therefore are correcting and strengthening the underlying weakness without causing any stress to the body with invasive therapies that can be most often a temporary correction. 38 ANEMIA AID (aplastic anemia) Set 4 To help stimulate new red blood production, detox and immune booster for all Species. 1. Anemia AID (aplastic anemia) 50ml 2. Liver detox 25ml 3. Vital Force Boost 50ml 2. Herbal IMMUNE BOOSTER 100ml Combination of herbs that will be working on increasing red blood cells, replenish bone marrow, blood, liver and kidney tonic and cleanser. Pulls out heavy metal out of body and tones liver. Radiation poisoning, malignant growths, liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis. That combination in Australian dollars is $150, which would be nearer to $100 US. Elsewhere, the site would likely list ingredients, that might help in searching for local products. Likely to cost less than a tranfusion, and more likely to heal, as from my reading the transfusion is only to keep the dog going until they can work out why he's got anaemia in the first place.
