Given that some skilled veterinary clinics already offer
blood transfusions for dogs in case of a major trauma or surgery, can donated dog
blood also improve the health of another ailing dog of the same blood type?

A t present, donated dog blood is primarily used in
transfusions of dogs undergoing emergency major surgery in cases of extreme
trauma that involve cars. Though transfusions can be a lifesaving procedure for
your beloved pet, can a dog blood transfusion from a compatible but much healthier
donor improve the health of your ailing pooch?
Dog blood is currently considered as the primary lifesaving medicine
during emergency pet surgery, but some dog owners have noticed a marked improvement
of their dogs overall vitality after receiving blood form a compatible but
younger and healthier donor in a transfusion done during a major medical operation.
Given that no synthetic dog blood or substitute had been developed yet, dog
blood is – for a few years now – considered the most valuable medicine on the
veterinarians operating table.
