Abstract
The dog holds the distinction of being the first domesticated animal among the
many species that have been domesticated. Many infectious and non-infectious
diseases affect dogs, with anemia being one of the most common symptoms. in
hematological analysis dogs having Hb value less than 12 g/dl, Total erythrocyte
count (TEC) less than 5.5х106
/µl or Packed cell volume (PCV) less than 35 %
considered as anemic. Anemia may occur as a result of various condition like
secondary to loss of blood, digestive disorders, coagulation disorders, gastrointestinal
parasitism, bleeding disorders, injury, urinary tract infections, immune mediated
hemolytic anemia, nutritional deficiencies, red cell aplasia. Anemia can be
categorized as regenerative or non-regenerative anemia based on the response of the
bone marrow to reduced circulatory levels of RBC in the form of reticulocyte count.
