CANINE BLOOD DONATION
Did you know that dogs give blood, just like humans?
If they didn't, there wouldn't be enough blood to provide the tens of thousands of transfusions dogs need every year. As with humans, blood must be readily available or a patient may die. That's why canine blood donation is so important.
Mica's condition improved significantly after multiple transfusions, and she fought valiantly for nearly a week when complications of the IMHA finally took her from us.
Please consider talking with your vet about involving your dog in a blood donation program. Blood transfusions like Mica received greatly increase a dogs chance of recovering from IMHA, IMTP and other illnesses or injuries. IMHA and IMTP are devastating diseases. IMHA is the most common blood immune disorder in both dogs and cats, and its mortality rate is staggering. At times it can be managed, but today there is no cure. Please visit the following link for more information about canine blood donation. It not only is fascinating, but you never know when your loved ones may need it too.
Thank you.
