Our pups are too small and Bran is never going to be classed as "fit and healthy" plus he's barely at the right weight and on too many meds but they are looking for volunteers to help at blood collecting sessions and there is one at our vets at the end of February so I'm registered to help with that

I wish Milo could do it but unfortunately he'll be one dog who will desparately need blood if he has to have an op! He was diagnosed with Hemophilia back in September!
SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONATE BLOOD FOR US THAT WILL NEED IT!!!
What a shame, one of mine wouldn't meet the weight criteria, but the other would have been ideal for this
??? Especially as the rabies and tic regs have all been relaxed this year.
Peppa did this yesterday for the first time. I'm very proud of her for being able to keep still for long enough
Well done Peppa! I must admit, it amazes me how they stay still!
It's a shame that Troy can't do it, as he is on Soloxine twice a day.
When he was castrated there were some complications and he bled more than normal. His blood didn't clot properly either. He didn't actually need any extra blood, but I remember at the time wondering about transfusions.
does anyone know about a webportal for doghealth issues, where you can find your nearest donor, the best vet for this certain procedure and care centers... I searched the web, only found a human equivalent but nothing similar for dogs or pets in general. My Tina will reach the age for blood donation this summer, but I have no clue where to do such a thing...
I did wonder about this for Dudley.
Can they do it while under GA? The reason I ask is that Duds is being castrated a week on Tuesday and wondered whether it would be possible to take blood at the same time or does it have to be a specialist centre?
