Anemia, a commonly diagnosed disorder, is often associated with acute/chronic blood loss, renal, immune-mediated, infectious, chronic disease, chemotherapy, neoplasia, toxic plant ingestion, chemicals or drugs. In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), there is no single pattern of Blood Deficiency which corresponds to the anemia of conventional medicine. Blood Deficiency as defined by TCVM may involve: a lack of production of vital substances needed to produce adequate Blood, deficiency/dysfunction of the Zang-Fu organs, Blood Stagnation (presence of old stagnant Blood interferes with generation of new blood), and blood loss without adequate replacement. The treatment of Blood Deficiency in TCVM is directed at replenishing not only the red cell components of Blood, but also in tonifying Qi, because of the intimate relationship between Qi and Blood. Acupuncture points often used to treat Blood Deficiency patterns include: SP-6 and SP-9 (tonify Spleen, nourish Yin, transform Damp), BL-20, BL-21 and ST-36 (tonify Qi, regulate the Spleen and Stomach), CV-4 and CV-6 (tonify Qi), SP-10, the sea of Blood (nourish Yin and Blood), GB-39 (influential point for Bone Marrow), BL-17 (influential point for Blood), and KID-3, BL-23 (nourish Kidney Yin). Common classical Chinese herbal medications include: Si Wu Tang, Ba Zhen Tang, Shi Quan Da Bu Tang, Ren Shen Yang Ying Tang, Gui Pi Tang and Zhi Gan Cao Tang. Typical foods recommended for Blood Deficient and anemic small animals include: beef, beef marrow, duck, rabbit, liver, heart, sardines and eggs but TCVM therapy including Food therapy will vary with the associated TCVM patterns.
