AUSSIE DOG BUNGEE CHOOK
Dogs have a superior sense
of hearing and can detect
noises up to 4 times further
away than humans.
FAST FACT
Occasionally
during an
emergency or
for a serious
illness, a dog may require a lifesaving blood
transfusion. This is most commonly needed due
to internal organ bleeding caused by trauma or
from ingesting a toxin, particularly rat baits.
Some veterinary clinics have their own canine
blood bank setup with stores of blood on hand
for these situations. Other veterinary clinics may
have a list of potential blood donor candidates
that they can call on to give blood in the case
of emergency.
An ideal blood donor dog needs to be in good
overall health, fully vaccinated and free from any
internal and external parasites. Young dogs aged
1-7 and larger dogs over 25kg are preferred.
The dog also needs to be of a happy and friendly
disposition that enjoys visiting the vets and is
easy to deal with.
The process of taking the blood is usually fairly
simple and can be done on most dogs without
sedating them. One canine unit of blood, which
is 450ml, will be drawn from the vein in the neck
or the foreleg. Dogs will only be able to donate
blood once every 3-6 months to avoid any
complications such as anaemia from developing.
If you think your dog would be a suitable blood
donor, get in touch with your local veterinary
clinics and let them know that your canine
friend is available to help save a life.
