67
Q

General recommendations

A
  • blood type AND crossmatch prior to any feline transfusion
  • blood type cats from breeds likely to be type B
  • blood type all potential donors
  • donors shouldn’t have been previously transfused or pregnant
  • all breeding animals should be blood typed
  • patients likely to require multiple transfusions should ideally be blood typed so that type-specific blood can be administered
68
Q

IF all canine donors are DEA 1.1 negative, and the patient has not been transfused or pregnant before, THEN:

A

It SHOULD be safe to transfuse cellular products without crossmatching (acute hemolysis unlikely)
