    Blood Donation

    in General Dog Discussion

    Posted

    Hello one and all,

    A couple of weeks before Christmas, " She who must be obeyed " took Digger and Honey to our vets for their arthritis shots ( contrfin or whatever it's called ). Anyway she sees a sign for volantary blood donation for dogs and adds Luckys name as he fits all requirements. So we get a call on the 27th December about 19:00hrs from local Emergency Vet if Lucky is available to donate blood as they had a Terrier type dog that was not responding to medication and need a blood transfusion for clotting purposes. We said yes and took him up there.

    We arrive and fill out some paper work and then reluctantly leave him for a couple of hours. " She who must be obeyed " picks him up as I had to work the next day and wakes me upon returning home that Lucky was a superstar. So well behaved and the receiving dog responded well to transfusion. She called the next day and the dog was recovering well and expected to make a full recovery. So our Luck is a true Lifesaver. They said to keep him quiet for a few days but he was the same loveable dog the next morning and didn't miss a beat.

    Has anyones else or their dogs donated blood ???? :) :) :) :)

    Help Avoiding Ticks At Northern Beaches

    Our Vets recommended Bravecto so far so good, but we had any for a while so not sure how effective it is ??

    Frontline spray is the most effective but expensive, especially for three dogs. As you only have one it should not be so costly. If you need to, Pet-N-Vet Direct.com is the best to purchase from.

    Recommend daily searches and checks.

    Recommend get your dog shorn for physical checks and searches.

    Also recommend you don't take your dog on beaches on the Northern Beaches of Sydney unless you want to donate to local Councils funds as the Rangers are vigilant and we think on a rewards bonus just the same as parking. :laugh:

    Bayview is the best place to take your dog for a swim, but weekends are very busy so be warned. :) But fishing not so good at Bayview. :)

    If you would like a social dog greet and meet please let us know and we can arrange. :) Or if you want to go for a fish together let us know. :)

    I was hesitant to give our hounds after our local Vet Recommended to give a while ago.

    " She who must be obeyed " purchased online approx. 2 months ago and has been nagging me to give but have been reluctant to administer after reading this on DOL.

    Today the nagging has got the better of me as our older two, Digger and Honey went to vets this morning for their arthritis shots and vet told the misses that the ticks are extremely bad again.

    So I gave to Digger,Honey and Lucky with there meals. See how we go. :)
