Thanks for reaching out about Kuyu. Garlic contains products that can lead to the destruction of red blood cells, anemia and thereby weakness. A visit to the veterinarian is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. If the anemia is severe enough, a transfusion might be needed. If mild, treatments can be used to stimulate new red blood protection. Good luck.
