But it is confirmed that Petey does have sweet kisses

Placebo effect for us is when our dogs, being familiar with the donation process, go ahead and lay down and get comfortable once the prep draw is complete and receiving only a "flush" dose vs sedation.  We anticipate Sarah (at her next visit) to be joining Champ as the second pibble in our pay it forward program to be a sedation free blood donor in the Blue Pearl Veterinary Blood Bank program.

Those ears !
Picture
Sarah only received .01 sedation

Classic open mouth kiss from Champ caught on film. Champ, did remember no tooth in kisses this time.

Blood donations save lives

7/12/2016

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.

Cocoa Beans wanted confirmation there would be cookies after donation.

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!

    Why Donate

    Donated 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)

    As well as fresh blood, in some circumstances, whole blood can be stored for anticipated usage or even divided into component parts and stored e.g. fresh frozen plasma. In the latter case, one donation can help two or three patients!
