Yes they can. My friend had a cat she wouldn't take it to the vet until the cat was vomiiting wouldn't eat and when she took him the vet told to use the fles stuff and the cat passed away cause she waited to long. Please take him/her to the vet. Good luck

Yes they can become anemic and get get diseases and both can lead to death if left untreated.
