Today we got a notificatioin that our very own TIGGRRR (that's a T-I-double GGRRR) was saving a life with his most recent blood donation @ BluePearl. Unfortunately, we did not get approval to post the lucky recepient's photo BUT we can tell you the blood was used to help treat the small dog (less than 10#) for non-regenerative anemia. For Dogs, non-regenerative anemia (which is caused by a decrease in red cell production), the bone marrow response is inadequate when compared to the increased need and Dogs that become anemic quickly (especially when induced by trauma) may die because of the sudden loss in red blood cells and oxygen. Hyper-link to PetMD.
 Tiggrrr yawns while waking up from his donation nap. 28.2kg  Toby caught a glimpse of himself in the reflection of the door window. 26.2kg
Thursday night pibble wave and the pups are all ready to go... Bailey, Homer & Deuce  Bailey waiting patiently  Deuce so looks forward to donating. Not had to put his muzzle back on for two donations now.  So THAT is what that dew claw is for!  Homer is all about that treat.  Sarah is awake and on a reduced level of sedation @.02 today. Perfect stick by LaLania our vamp tonight.  Cocoa Beans wanted confirmation there would be cookies after donation.  Cocoa Beans could be awake for her donation since her sedation was under .02 BUT she chose to snore today.  Petey says hooray team pibbles!  Champ donation prep shenanigans  Eventhough Champ no longer needs sedation to donate, he still feels he needs the puppy smelling salts (i.e.: cookies) to 'wake up'. Silly pibble! Everyone of the dogs donating tonight was at a dose of .02, which is kinda awesome.  Bailey is all about the cookies.  Toby says you had me at Pupperoni  Deuce reading his recognition.  Petey says it's ok mom.  snuck in a kiss before his meds kicked in.  Cocoa also trying to sneak a kiss.  BP vamps always have great sticks.  we are not sure what is going on with that hamster ear...  Champ had another successful donation without sedation.  uh oh somebody said meatball...  Deuce was so excited to see Petra that he jumped onto the table on his own today <3 Deuce (30.6kg) is very focused on Petra <3  Bailey (27.2kg) is down to a sedation of only .25mls  Toby (27 6 kg) is down to a sedation of only .2mls  Toby knows why we are at Blue Pearl and is looking for Petra to come get him.  rainy blood donation day |
Why DonateDonated blood saves pets' lives. For the same reasons sick or injured people often need blood transfusions that replace blood loss due to traumatic injury or surgery. Transfusions also are used to treat animals whose blood systems are not functioning well. Often, these are pets with diseases that attack their immune systems or diseases that prevent their blood from clotting normally--such as happens when pets and people suffer heat stroke. Other common situations when blood products (blood or plasma) may be used are with critically ill patients with cancer, anemia, clotting problems, internal parasites, heat stroke, or traumatic blood loss (auto accident, bite wounds) Archives
