๐ฉธ Blood Donors Needed For Our Database๐ฉธ
Unfortunately, there is currently a shortage of pet blood - particularly red blood cells - and so we have been having difficulty sourcing any from our usual supplier, Pet Blood Bank UK
We would love to have a list of some of our lovely patients who would be willing to be a donor in an emergency situation, should another of our patients need any.
๐ถ For dogs, the ideal donor would be: ๐ถ
โค๏ธ Between the age of 1 and 8 years old
โค๏ธ Fully fit and healthy, and weighing over 25kgs
โค๏ธ Have never travelled outside of the UK
โค๏ธ Not on any medication and be fully vaccinated
โค๏ธ Have a good temperament and not get stressed when at the vets
๐ฑ For our feline patients, the ideal cat donor would be: ๐ฑ
โค๏ธ Between the ages of 1 and 10 years old
โค๏ธ Fully fit and healthy, and weighing over 4kgs
โค๏ธ Up to date with flea, worming and vaccinations
โค๏ธ Never travelled outside of the UK
โค๏ธ Not on any medication currently, and have never had a blood transfusion themselves
If you feel your pet would be the perfect candidate, we would be extremely appreciative, so please message us. This way we can make a note on your account and also add you to our database.
