Click to Skip Ahead Overview Treatment Options No matter how much we try to keep them in optimal health, our dogs sometimes become ill. It’s just a fact of life. What’s important is getting familiarized with the different treatment options available for any condition or illness our canine companions come down with.  This helps us understand that the veterinarian is providing the best available treatment option. Anemia is described as a lower overall number of red blood cells in the body. There are many different kinds of anemias and they are also a result of very diverse causes. Therefore, when it comes to treating anemia in dogs, there are several options available. The best one for the case will be determined by the cause and kind of anemia present. Some of these options treat very specific underlying causes of anemia, so there is not a one-size-fits-all treatment for all anemic dogs. In most cases, these treatments will be used in conjunction with each other. Today, we’ll be looking at all those options and what they entail, so keep reading! What Is Anemia? What exactly is anemia in dogs? Anemia occurs when a canine’s body doesn’t have enough red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissue, so if there are fewer of them or they aren’t doing their job properly, a dog can become weak and fatigued, and depending on the degree of the anemia, the lack of proper tissue and organ oxygenation can cause a myriad of undesirable consequences. In all cases, anemia is a sign of some other underlying issue. Some examples are: Acute and severe blood loss, like in an accident Chronic loss of small quantities of blood such as in the case of ulcers or parasite infestations. Red blood cell destruction, caused by intoxications, chemicals, cancer, drugs, certain inherited diseases, or even the dog’s immune system. The lack of production of red blood cells, such as in the case of lack of nutrients, kidney disease, or bone marrow problems. Anemias are classified as regenerative if the cause of anemia is treatable and the dog is able to recover normal red blood cell levels with treatment. Anemia is non-regenerative if the cause is their inability to produce new red blood cells. The latter happens when dogs have issues with their bone marrow or from chronic disease or damage to the kidneys or other organs. The treatment of choice will be decided based on the kind of anemia and the cause beyond it. While the following list is not exhaustive, it is a good overview of some of the treatment options for anemia in dogs. Image Credit: Tatiana’s Camera, Shutterstock The 11 Treatment Options For Anemia in Dogs 1. Iron Supplements You’re likely familiar with iron-deficiency anemia in humans; it’s not uncommon in canines, either. In the case of dogs, iron-deficiency anemia is most common in cases of chronic blood loss. However, insufficient intake of iron through diet is another possibility. Since iron plays such an important role in the transportation of oxygen to the body’s tissues in the form of hemoglobin, adequate iron levels are crucial for recovery. If your dog is experiencing iron-deficiency anemia, iron supplements will be prescribed. 2. Blood Transfusion If your pet has experienced some injury or trauma that has led to sudden, severe blood loss, it’s a life-threatening situation, so a blood transfusion will be necessary. The primary purpose of this treatment is to stabilize your pup so that the reason for the anemia can be figured out and treated (provided the reason isn’t obvious, like an injury). Occasionally, the reason for severe blood loss isn’t so apparent—there could be a condition making it difficult for blood to clot or a bleeding tumor somewhere, which could lead to low-grade chronic blood loss resulting in iron-deficiency anemia. Image Credit: Dragon Images, Shutterstock 3. Deworming or Parasite Medications Internal parasites can also be responsible for anemia in canines. Hookworms, in particular, can result in anemia as they attach to the small intestine to feed on blood. However, ectoparasite infestation can also result in anemia. Increased numbers of fleas and ticks feeding on their host’s blood can lead to severe anemia, especially in puppies. If your vet finds that internal or external parasite infestations are responsible for a dog’s anemia, deworming or anti-parasite medications will be given. The specific treatment will largely depend on the case. 4. Gastrointestinal Medication A number of diseases can result in anemia if there is chronic blood loss from ulcerations, an inability to absorb iron from malabsorption, or other intestinal disturbances. If your vet has done testing and found that the cause of the anemia is something like stomach ulcers, your dog will be given gastroprotectants and proton pump inhibitors. If the cause is due to the inability to absorb iron due to gastrointestinal illness, the solution would depend on treating the underlying cause but might include antimicrobial drugs, anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and even specialized diets or calming aids. 5. Cobalamin (B12) Supplementation If the anemia is caused by a cobalamin deficiency, periodic subcutaneous injections of cobalamin might be prescribed. In dogs, the most common causes of cobalamin deficiencies are exotic pancreatic insufficiency and chronic and severe small intestinal disease. Hereditary cobalamin deficiency is also a possibility and has been described in various dog breeds including the Border Collie, Shar Pei, Giant Schnautzer, and the Australian Shepherd. Image Credit: Tatyana Vyc, Shutterstock 6. Antibiotics Sometimes infections, particularly chronic infections or those infections leading to sepsis, are associated with the development of anemia. If that is the case, a course of antibiotics that target the causing bacteria will need to be part of the treatment protocols. 7. Corticosteroids and Immunosuppressive Drugs Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia is probably the most common autoimmune disease in canines, and corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs are used to treat it. The purpose of this treatment is to stop the dog’s immune system from destroying their own red blood cells. 8. Intravenous Fluids & Binders Intravenous fluids are also sometimes given for anemia in conjunction with medications and other treatments, particularly if your dog’s anemia is due to kidney disease or intoxication. These fluids help keep the kidneys working correctly and protect the kidneys from further damage. So, don’t be surprised if your vet gives your pet fluids during your visit. Image Credit: Konstantin Zaykov, Shutterstock 9. Surgery or Chemotherapy If the cause behind the anemia is an injury, a damaged organ, or even cancer, surgery or chemotherapy might be the treatment options of choice to resolve the primary issue behind your dog’s anemia. 10. Potassium Phosphate Supplements Some metabolic disorders can cause hemolytic anemias. Dogs with diabetes, hepatic lipidosis, and refeeding syndrome might present this problem. Providing additional phosphorus, either orally or injected, is the recommended treatment. 11. Bone Marrow Transplant If your canine companion is dealing with primary bone marrow disease, this will lead to non-regenerative anemia because the red blood cell precursors (stem cells that will become red blood cells) come from the bone marrow. To be diagnosed, your dog would most likely have a bone marrow aspiration, followed by a core biopsy. And in this case, a bone marrow transplant from a suitable donor might be the only way to resolve this kind of anemia. However, this is a rare procedure in veterinary medicine. Conclusion When your favorite canine suffers from anemia, several options are available to help. The best treatment option will depend on the underlying cause of your pet’s anemia. Treatment could be as simple as antibiotics or iron supplements for something like a bacterial infection or iron deficiency. In cases where anemia has been brought on due to blood loss, parasite infestations, renal issues, intoxication, or injury, treatment could be more involved and may include antiparasitic treatments, gastric treatments, blood transfusion, binders, and intravenous fluids. Rest assured that your vet will provide the best treatment option for your dog. In the meantime, it’s helpful to understand that there are several causes and types of anemia, and each one will require a different treatment approach.

Click to Skip Ahead Overview What To Do FAQ Dogs love to test our patience by ingesting all sorts of bizarre things they shouldn’t, and aluminum foil is actually a pretty common one, particularly if it has been used to wrap up some delicious leftovers. If your dog has managed to eat a sheet of this shiny metal wrap, you’ll no doubt be pretty worried and want to know what to do next. The good news is that, in most cases, your dog will be fine, and the foil will pass through their body without causing any major issues. However, this will depend greatly on the size of your dog, how much foil they’ve eaten, and whether or not luck is on your side. If your dog has eaten aluminum foil, the most sensible first step is to get in touch with your vet for advice specific to your dog and situation. In the article below, we’ll discuss the possible issues that ingesting foil may have on your dog’s digestive system, so you’ll know what to be looking out for. What Happens if Your Dog Eats Aluminum Foil? Aluminum, or aluminium, is the most abundant metal element in the Earth’s crust, but due to its chemical structure, it does not appear in its metallic form in nature. A process of electrolysis turns pure metallic aluminum into the malleable, moldable sheets we know so well. It is not a heavy metal and does not pose any risks of toxicity if ingested, but it can still cause some issues. In most cases, the main consequence of eating this foil will be some shiny poop in a day or two. However, aluminum foil can cause some problems, particularly if: Your Dog Ate a Large Amount of Foil It would be unusual for a dog to sit down to a hearty meal of foil, but if they have eaten a large enough amount or a ball of foil,  it could cause a partial or complete blockage in the gastrointestinal tract. Even if the foil doesn’t get completely stuck, it may cause damage to the lining of the esophagus or intestine as it travels through, resulting in bleeding, vomiting, or diarrhea. Image Credit: shulers, Shutterstock There Was Anything Toxic Inside the Foil Sometimes we’re so worried about the foil itself that we forget to consider what (if anything) was wrapped inside it. There are plenty of foods we regularly eat that are toxic to dogs (eg., chocolate, onions, and grapes) or fatty foods that could cause gastrointestinal upset or pancreatitis. And if the food inside the foil had gone bad, there’s the added risk of food poisoning. If Your Dog Regularly Eats Foil Dogs can sometimes develop strange compulsions for eating certain items, a condition known as pica. If your dog is making a habit out of eating aluminum foil, even small amounts can start to accumulate inside the stomach, building up like a snowball to form a bezoar, a solid mass of foil, food, fur, and other material, that can cause an obstruction when it passes into the intestines. If you think your dog may be suffering from pica, make a list of your dog’s normal food (and non-food) and make an appointment to discuss this with your vet. My Dog Ate Aluminum Foil, What Should I Do? The first thing to do is get in touch with your vet. They may recommend monitoring your dog at home or bringing them in for an examination, depending on the size and health of your dog, and how much foil they have eaten. If we are dealing with quite a small amount of foil, this will likely pass through uneventfully over the next 2-3 days. You will need to keep a close eye on your dog over this period, watching out for any signs of discomfort, nausea, or obstruction. Image Credit: MT.PHOTOSTOCK, Shutterstock Signs of an esophageal obstruction Regurgitation (food/water expelled without abdominal effort) Difficulty swallowing Exaggerated swallowing Drooling Gagging/coughing Signs of a gastric (stomach) or intestinal obstruction Inappetence Abdominal discomfort or pain Rigid abdomen Vomiting Drooling Passing no or very small amounts of feces Panting Dehydration – tacky gums, prolonged skin tent Call your vet immediately if you see any of these signs. Because aluminum foil can be sharp, your dog may experience some discomfort and difficulty when passing it. A very small amount of blood or straining wouldn’t be unusual, but if your dog is straining a lot or passing more than a few drops of blood, they need to be seen by a vet. Image Credit: KongNoi, Shutterstock Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Will My Dog Need Surgery? If your dog develops an obstruction, surgery will likely be needed. Your vet will take some X-rays to determine where the obstruction is located and how best to approach it. If the object is far enough down the digestive tract, sometimes, giving intravenous fluids and lubricating medications will allow it to pass, but abdominal surgery is usually the best way to remove an intestinal blockage. Should I Make My Dog Vomit? You should never attempt to make your dog vomit at home unless specifically instructed to by your vet. Often, making a dog vomit an object can cause more harm than good, so wait until you speak with your vet before taking any action. Should I Feed My Dog? Do not give them anything to eat until you have spoken to your vet. If your dog is bright and well and the plan is to monitor them at home, feeding them little and often can help to keep their intestines moving, as well as let us know if their appetite is normal. Final Thoughts While most dogs will be more interested in the food contained in aluminum foil, some will be in such a rush that they’ll eat the whole lot—foil and all. And, there will always be those that enjoy munching on strange things. Fortunately, aluminum foil is non-toxic, and being quite soft, it will usually pass through the digestive tract fairly readily. However, if your dog has consumed a large amount of aluminum foil, there were any toxic food items or spoiled food inside the foil, or they are developing a habit of eating it, you should contact your vet for an appointment. Call your vet if: Your dog has eaten a large amount of aluminum foil. There was any food in the foil that might be toxic to your dog. If you’re not sure, it’s better to check with the vet. Your dog stops eating or drinking. Your dog starts vomiting. Your dog seems depressed or lethargic. Your dog’s abdomen seems to be in pain or uncomfortable or looks bloated. There is blood in the stool that persists for more than 24 hours, or if the amount of blood is increasing. In most cases, your dog will be fine, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

Once, not that long ago, televisions were beloved devices that brought families together for regular rituals of laughter, drama, and storytelling. But today, as we settle in for a night of streaming on our sleek smart TVs, that warmth feels increasingly distant. These modern monstrosities offer endless options and voice-activated convenience, but this comes at a steep price. While we put our feet up and enjoy our favorite shows, we’re also inviting a level of surveillance into our homes that would have been unthinkable a few decades ago. According to a new report by the Center for Digital Democracy, smart TVs have become yet another cog in a massive, data-driven machine. Specifically, this machine is an ecosystem that harvests viewer data with military-like precision, prioritizing profits over privacy, individual autonomy, and, arguably, our collective well-being. Big Brother isn't just in your living room — he knows what you’re watching, what you’re thinking, what you’re buying, and even where you’re going. A Trojan horse in disguise As the report details, these devices function as sophisticated surveillance tools, tracking viewers' every move across platforms. From Tubi to Netflix to Disney+, streaming services rely heavily on various data collection mechanisms to fuel a relentless advertising engine. These companies boast about their ability to collect "billions of rows of data" on their viewers, using machine learning algorithms to personalize the entire experience — from what shows are recommended to the ads viewers are served. Tools like Automatic Content Recognition — built into TVs by companies such as LG, Samsung, and Roku — track and analyze everything you watch. ACR collects data frame by frame, creating detailed viewer profiles that are then used for targeted advertising. These profiles can include information about the devices in your home and the content you purchase, all feeding into a continuous feedback loop for advertisers. The more you watch, the more the system learns about you — and the greater its ability to shape your choices. The “non-skippable” ads, personalized to reflect intimate knowledge about viewers' behaviors and vulnerabilities, are particularly disturbing. They are engineered to be as compelling and intrusive as possible. Smart TVs are living up to their names. They know everything about you. And I mean absolutely everything. Data-driven manipulation The streaming industry has rapidly grown into one of the most lucrative advertising sectors, with streaming platforms like Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime attracting billions in ad revenue. As the report warns, these platforms now use advanced generative AI and machine learning to produce thousands of hyper-targeted ads in seconds — ads for Mom, ads for Dad, and ads for the little ones. By employing tools like identity graphs, which compile data from across an individual’s digital footprint, streaming services can track and target viewers on their televisions and throughout their entire digital lives. That's right. Smart TVs seamlessly interact with other smart devices, basically "talking" to each other and sharing valuable gossip. This data collection goes far beyond tracking viewing habits. The report reveals that companies like Experian and TransUnion have developed identifiers that encompass deeply personal details, such as health information, financial status, and political views. Who will you vote for in November? You already know — and so does your TV. Crooked capitalism At its core, capitalism has been a driving force of innovation, progress, and prosperity. Its brilliance lies in its ability to harness human creativity and ambition, rewarding those who bring value to the market. In its purest form, capitalism is entirely meritocratic. Capitalism has lifted millions out of poverty through competition and the pursuit of profit. Capitalism helped make America the greatest nation known to man. However, we see today a gross distortion of capitalism’s core principles. Surveillance capitalism has taken the place of pure capitalism. Instead of fostering innovation, this monstrous model feeds off personal data, often without our knowledge or consent. It preys particularly on vulnerable groups like children, exploiting their behaviors and emotions to turn a profit. The same system that once championed freedom now thrives on violating privacy, reducing human experiences to commodities. Smart TVs and surveillance capitalism go hand in hand. This raises an urgent question: What can we do about it? While it’s tempting to grab a sledgehammer and smash your nosy device into a million pieces, more practical solutions exist. Start by diving into your TV's settings and disabling data tracking features such as ACR. You can also refuse to sign up for accounts or services that require extensive data sharing. For those willing to pay a bit more, opting for ad-free services can limit the data collected on your viewing habits, though it’s not a foolproof solution. Additionally, advocating for stronger regulations on data privacy and transparency in advertising technologies is crucial. As consumers, we need to push policymakers to implement stricter laws that hold companies accountable for the data they collect and how they use it. Organizations like the Center for Digital Democracy, which authored this important report, are already fighting for these changes. This is a matter of critical importance. Close to 80% of homes in the U.S. have a smart TV. Big Brother isn't just in your living room — he knows what you’re watching, what you’re thinking, what you’re buying, and even where you’re going. Not for the sledgehammer, I hope.

1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky's conservatism frequently puts him at odds with leftist panelists on CNN, although for the most part, past engagements have been relatively civil. Things took a turn on Monday's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" when the titular host of MSNBC's canceled "The Mehdi Hasan Show" insinuated that Girdusky, President Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and others with whom he disagreed on matters of policy are Nazis. Evidently tired of the worn-out liberal smear, Girdusky turned the tables — which was particularly easy given Hasan's reputation for "anti-Israel agitprop" — and made a dark joke about the former Al Jazeera presenter perhaps being a terrorist. After landing a rhetorical punch that left Hasan repeating himself and the other panelists melting down, Girdusky was kicked off the set and banned from the show. "You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi and have taken money from Qatar-funded media," Girdusky noted afterward on X. "Apparently you can't go on CNN if you make a joke. I'm glad America gets to see what CNN stands for." Background Trump held a high-energy campaign event Sunday at Madison Square Garden. The venue was at capacity, and the rally went swimmingly despite the best efforts of Harris supporters to cancel and spoil the event. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal likened the event to a Nazi rally at the Garden in 1939, as opposed to the Democratic Party's national conventions at the Garden in 1976, 1980, and 1992. MSNBC, Time magazine, and various other liberal publications soon dutifully regurgitated the Democrats' suggestion that Trump's campaign event was essentially the Nazi rally of the day — meaning that all those present, including 94-year-old Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski, were themselves Nazis or Nazi sympathizers. Counterstrike On Monday, CNN host Abby Phillip and Girdusky debated whether the media had just defamed Trump or all those in attendance at the Garden rally. Hasan, an exponent of the false narrative about the Hunter Biden laptop story, chimed in to defend the media's characterization. According to Hasan, there were even more examples from the rally that were reminiscent of the exterminationists of yesteryear. There was still Tucker Carlson doing replacement. Don Jr. did replacement. And then Trump himself turned up and talked about invading and occupying our country, which is the language of the far right. He talked about enemy of the people, which is Joseph Goebbels. He talked about the enemy within, which is literally Hitler. I mean, these are the — my problem is — I get it, which [is] nobody wants to be called Nazis. It's very inflammatory. "If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop doing, stop saying —" said Hasan, at which point Girdusky leaned forward to point out that the Israel critic was casting stones from a glass house. "You're called an anti-Semite more than anyone in this table," said Girdusky. 'It is fine to call anyone on the political right a Nazi.' "I'm a supporter of the Palestinians," said Hasan. "I'm used to it." "Yes. Well, I hope your beeper doesn't go off," responded Girdusky. Israel hid explosives inside pagers used by Hezbollah terrorists and triggered them in September, killing at least 11 individuals and injuring over 4,000 others in Lebanon and parts of Syria. Hasan did his best to misconstrue Girdusky's dark humor into a death wish. "Did you just say I should die?" said Hasan. "Did you just say I should be killed?" Girdusky apologized, indicating that was not his meaning and that he thought Hasan had signaled support for Hamas. Phillip attempted to intervene, but there was no consoling Hasan. "You just said I should get killed on live TV," said Hasan. "You said you hope my beeper shouldn't go off." Former Biden-Harris campaign staffer Ashley Allison fed on Hasan's rage and berated Girdusky, weaving criticism of the conservative into yet another attack on Trump. After more hand-wringing, the show went to break. Banned Phillip began the next segment — from which Girdusky was noticeably absent — with an apology, not to the conservative for the Nazi smear, but to Hasan for the beeper joke. "I want to apologize to Mehdi Hasan for what was said at this table. It was completely unacceptable. When we get this discussion started, you'll see that Ryan is not at the table. There is a line that was crossed there, and it's not acceptable to me," said Phillip. "It's not acceptable to us at this network. We want discussion. We want people who disagree with each other to talk to each other. But when you cross the line of a complete lack of civility, that is not going to happen here on this show." CNN confirmed to Blaze News that Girdusky "will not be welcomed back at our network." In response to questions about whether Nazi and terrorist accusations were weighted differently and whether Hasan might also face repercussions, CNN stated, "There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air. We aim to foster thoughtful conversations and debate including between people who profoundly disagree with each other in order to explore important issues and promote mutual understanding. But we will not allow guests to be demeaned or for the line of civility to be crossed." Phillip revealed late Monday night that CNN has asked Hasan back, portraying the leftist who previously suggested that non-Muslims are subhuman and that all homosexuals are pedophiles as a victim. "We really hope that he will join us again soon," said Phillip. Blaze News reached out to Girdusky for comment but did not receive a response by deadline. "It is fine to call anyone on the political right a Nazi," tweeted Max Abrahms, associate professor of political science at Northeastern University. "It is not okay to call an antisemitic Qatar agent who runs PR for terrorists a terrorist." Sean Davis, co-founder of the Federalist, said of the comment that got Girdusky ousted, "Absolutely legendary comeback, and a clinic on the only way to handle garbage corporate media. Jack Posobiec, senior editor at Human Events, noted, "Understand what just happened[.] Mehdi Hasan called Ryan Girdusky, a Polish-American, a Nazi[.] Ryan responded with a quip about beepers[.] Ryan was kicked off, and CNN apologized to Hasan for his comments[.] That's how it works at CNN."

With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Donald Trump’s campaign just keeps looking better. And shockingly, New York City just turned out big-time for the former president. Not only did the mayor, Eric Adams, tell his party to tone down the divisive and harmful rhetoric regarding Trump, but a rally Trump held at Madison Square Garden completely sold out — and the crowd outside was even bigger. “That place was packed,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments. “What does it seat, 20,000?” The NYPD released the official count of those in attendance, with Madison Square Garden at 19,500 people and 75,000 people outside the arena rallying in support of Trump’s campaign. “And it’s a Nazi rally, because in 1939, Nazis held a rally at Madison Square Garden,” Gray comments, poking fun at the Democrats who have compared the two. “So what I just heard you say is Billy Joel is a Nazi,” Keith Malinak comments, as Billy Joel has also sold out Madison Square Garden many times. “If you go to Madison Square Garden and a big crowd shows up, you must be a Nazi.” Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
