Featured Emergency Transfusions
The following is a look at our featured emergency transfusions:
IV Hydration: Dehydration can be a serious concern for critically ill animals. We offer intravenous (IV) hydration therapy, a fast and effective way to replenish fluids lost due to illness, injury, or surgery. IV therapy delivers essential hydration and electrolytes straight into the bloodstream, promoting faster recovery.
Blood Transfusions: Blood transfusions can be life-saving for injured pets with significant blood loss or those with illnesses like anemia. We work with a network of blood banks to provide your pet with a compatible blood type. Before a transfusion, we perform blood typing and cross-matching to ensure compatibility and minimize the risk of complications.
Plasma Transfusions: Plasma transfusions involve only the liquid portion of the blood, known as the plasma, to address certain conditions, such as low blood volume, deficiencies in clotting factors, trauma, severe anemia, and liver disease. Plasma infusions also offer a potentially life-saving treatment after ingesting rodenticides, which are poisons used to eliminate rodents.
Antivenin Transfusions: Curious pets are often exposed to venomous snake bites, which can be incredibly painful and life-threatening. Antivenin transfusions help neutralize snake venom, preventing serious complications like swelling, blood clotting abnormalities, and tissue death. It offers your furry friends the best chances of a positive outcome.
Intralipid Transfusions: In cases of accidental ingestion of poisonous substances, intralipid infusions, also known as lipid rescue, can be a life-saver for your pet. Intralipids help bind to certain fat-soluble toxins, stopping them from reaching vital organs and reducing their impact on your pet's body.
Does Your Pet Require an Emergency Transfusion?
When a pet experiences an emergency, time is of the essence. Prompt treatment is critical to ensure positive outcomes for your furry companion. Once you arrive, we will ask you about your pet's history, the nature of the emergency, and any specific concerns.
Our experienced veterinary team will evaluate your pet's condition using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including our in-house lab, whole-body radiography, and ultrasound FAST scans. Once we determine your pet's underlying concerns, we can start prompt treatment. Emergency infusions are often needed during emergency visits to provide life-saving support for your furry companion.
