Whether a dog with severe anemia can survive depends mainly on the cause and severity of the anemia. Anemia is a chronic disease of the blood. Although it may not necessarily lead to immediate death of the dog, if the hematopoietic function is impaired, the cure rate will be lower and the mortality rate will be higher.

For dogs with severe anemia, they should go to the pet hospital for blood transfusion treatment in time, and supplement trace amounts of iron, zinc, etc. Elements aid in the production of red blood cells. At the same time, depending on the specific cause of anemia, other treatment measures may be needed, such as stopping bleeding, restoring hemolysis, etc. Timely treatment is required to avoid affecting the dog’s lifespan.
