    Urgent need blood donation to save a little dog

    Dear all
    My friend's little dog Orea needs urgent blood transfursion. If you know any clinics have blood donation dog services or if any owners are willing to have your dogs to help.

    Any of you feedbacks are much appreciated!!
    Trillion thanks!!!

    Karen

    I have never come across this, and if you think about it, you might understand why. A blood transfusion would require a blood donor - which would obviously have to be another dog. I can't imagine how scared a dog might be at having needles stuck in it so it could donate blood: unlike a human it has no idea it's doing a good deed. Therefore, I would imagine many owners would be unlikely to offer their dogs as donors.

    I think your best bet is probably to be there for your friend and help him through the passing of his dog.

    You're wrong in your assumption there.
    It's happened recently and HKDR had written about it.
    Might be worth trying them to see if they can help.
