Effect of Diet on Susceptibility of Canine Hematopoietic System to Damage by Amidopyrine

Summary and Conclusions

The daily administration of 0.5 gm. of amidopyrine causes anemia in dogs fed a diet which causes canine black-tongue. No anemia results when a normal diet is fed. The anemia is associated with a suppression of maturation of hemato-poietic bone marrow cells and it may be prevented and cured by supplementing the diet with autolyzed yeast.
