Blood transfusion in cats.

A vet friend had to give a severely anaemic stray kitten an emergency blood transfusion due to severe flea burden.

The volume was 5ml but the blood came from a dog

Some trivia:

1) volunteering your cat/dog as a blood donor is possible. But they take the blood when transfusion is required - they don't generally store blood
The quid pro quo is often big bag of doggie food / gift voucher + free blood test and checkup

2) xenotransfusion such as this is a one time only as this cat will develop antidog blood antibodies. Next time it gets blood from a dog it will get a severe anaphylaxis reaction and will die.

Consider your cat/dog as a blood donor.
They prefer indoor desexed male cats over 4.5kg.
 
Have you been away? I can imagine Max has not been impressed with having his play area curtailed.

Quick trip to Cairns/Palm Cove, bit of driving, tablelands, Mossman, bit further north, only downside the the trip was that we didn’t get our requested upgrades, :) although Mantra did give us an upgrade and a voucher for Vivo Restaurant as our room wasn’t ready. Can recommend both.
 
Basically the only advantage of having an older cat who can't jump very high - everything above knee high is safe!

I'll have to build her a ramp up to the bed soon.
 
So max is "OK" in the nuddy.. but how would he compare dressed for dinner...

Obviously he wanted irises not roses or maybe catnip? :)
