title: Feline nonregenerative anemia: diagnosis and treatment.
abstract: Anemia in cats is not a diagnosis but rather a sign of an underlying disease. The diagnostic work-up for an anemic patient is often extensive, starting with classification of the anemia as regenerative or nonregenerative. Once nonregenerative anemia is diagnosed, a number of tests may be required to determine its cause, including a close examination of the patient's blood and bone marrow. Although there are standard supportive measures for anemic cats, specific therapies can be implemented for certain etiologies of nonregenerative anemia.
