==Description==
The mycoplasmal bacteria ''Haemobartonella canis'' causes haemolyic anaemia in dogs. The organism is transmitted by ticks and causes clinical signs by attaching to the outside of red blood cells. Clinical signs are usually mild except in cases where the animal has had a previous splenectomy or is undergoing chemotherapy and has a compromised immune system.
