Joseph, Thanks for the visit to my page. Actually the illness pernicious anemia is a human ailment which years ago was a death sentence. However now a person can receive B12 injections to keep them going. Although in some people it goes on to develop into a form of leukemia. I looked it up and dogs do get it also.
