Why does my cat keep getting anemia and low red blood cell counts?

Question

Cat have problem with blood. We notice when she eat sand from litter and dirt from flower pots. Blood result was lower than minimal. She get some antibiotic and vitamins that time and after time vet give cortisone. This help when she eat them. When blood get good we remuve her spleen and things show better. Now when she start skratching on head and get wounds we urgent take her to vet because blood is getting low and she get antibiotic and help for some time. We dont know what is making problem. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 9 months old | 8.5 lbs

I am assuming when you refer to the blood gets low - this mean that Lorah is anemic and having a low red blood cell count. The red blood cells can be low due to loss (bleeding), destroyed (auto immune, red blood parasites) or not being made (bone marrow problems). It is important that additional testing be done to determine why the anemia is happening. IF the underlying cause is not addressed that the anemia will continue to be present. I hope that helps
