Life-Saving Transfusion Services for Dogs and Cats
In emergency situations or cases of severe illness, a blood transfusion can mean the difference between life and death. At Iberia Animal Clinic, we are equipped to provide pet blood transfusions on-site for patients in urgent need of care.
How Blood Transfusions Work
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure in which whole blood or blood components are transferred from a donor pet to a patient in need. This treatment helps restore red blood cells, platelets, or plasma to stabilize vital functions, support oxygen delivery, and improve circulation.
Common Reasons for Blood Transfusions in Pets:
- Severe anemia or autoimmune disease
- Blood loss from trauma, surgery, or internal bleeding
- Clotting disorders or toxic exposures (e.g., rodenticide ingestion)
- Parvovirus or tick-borne illnesses
- Complications during recovery from illness or surgery
Each transfusion is customized based on your pet’s diagnosis, blood type, and overall condition.
How the Process Works
At Iberia Animal Clinic, we follow a detailed protocol to ensure the safest and most effective outcomes during blood transfusion therapy.
Our Process Includes:
- Initial assessment and diagnostics to determine the need for a transfusion
- Blood typing and compatibility testing to prevent reactions
- Carefully matched donor blood for cats or dogs
- Monitoring throughout the procedure for vital signs and comfort
- Follow-up care to evaluate response and recovery
At Iberia Animal Clinic, your pet’s safety and well-being are always our top priorities. Our veterinary team is trained in transfusion medicine protocols and emergency care, and we handle each case with precision, compassion, and urgency.
