Blood Transfusion: Life-Saving Care for Your Pet
Blood transfusions are often necessary in cases of severe injury, surgery, or illness, helping to replace lost blood and support the body’s ability to heal. If your pet needs immediate blood transfusion, you can trust that our team is experienced in providing this critical care.
When your pet might need a blood transfusion
Blood transfusions are typically required when a pet experiences severe blood loss or has a medical condition that affects their blood cells. Transfusions can be essential in cases of trauma, surgery, or conditions like anemia. Some common situations that may require a blood transfusion include:
- Severe trauma or injury: Pets that suffer from accidents or injuries may lose large amounts of blood, requiring a transfusion to stabilize them.
- Surgical procedures: Some surgeries may result in significant blood loss, making transfusions necessary during or after the procedure.
- Anemia: Pets with chronic or sudden-onset anemia may require a blood transfusion to restore healthy red blood cell levels.
- Clotting disorders: Pets with conditions that affect blood clotting may need transfusions to prevent excessive bleeding.
Our blood transfusion process
We have a dedicated team that handles the entire blood transfusion process:
- Blood typing: Just like humans, pets have specific blood types, and it’s essential to match the donor blood with the recipient’s blood type to prevent complications.
- Blood collection: We partner with local blood banks and use donor pets to collect blood safely and ethically, ensuring a steady supply for pets in need.
- Monitoring and aftercare: During the transfusion, we closely monitor your pet for any signs of adverse reactions, ensuring their comfort and safety. Post-transfusion, we provide comprehensive aftercare to help your pet recover quickly.
