Abstract Background Prestorage leukoreduction of red blood cell (RBC) bags prevents accumulation of pro‐inflammatory mediators and experimentally attenuates post‐transfusion inflammation in healthy dogs. However, the...

Abstract Background After‐hours or out‐of‐clinic crossmatches are often limited by the lack of access to specialized material and technical expertise. Hypothesis/Objectives The goal was to adapt a stall‐side cros...

ABSTRACT Background The reported incidence of blood product transfusion reaction (TR) in cats varies greatly. Objective Evaluate the incidence and practices surrounding acute TRs in cats receiving feline blood products, ...

Abstract Background Reported incidence of blood transfusion reactions (TR) varies greatly. Objective To prospectively evaluate the incidence of acute TRs in dogs receiving allogenic blood products, using consensus defini...

Background Multiple factors exist that contribute to anemia in dogs and cats receiving hemodialysis, can necessitate transfusion. Objectives To describe blood product usage in dogs and cats with acute and chronic kidney ...

Abstract Background Whether anemic cats and dogs with increased left heart dimensions are at higher risk of transfusion‐associated circulatory overload, and the effect of blood transfusion on left heart dimensions in n...

Abstract Management of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in dogs and cats is evolving, but there are no evidence‐based guidelines to assist clinicians with treatment decisions. Likewise, the overall goals for treatment of ...

Abstract Background Crossmatching is used to prevent life‐threatening transfusion reactions in horses. Laboratory methods are laborious and technically challenging, which is impractical during emergencies. Hypothesis/O...

Abstract Background Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions because of dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 sensitization after mismatched transfusions are serious complications. Dog erythrocyte antigen 1 expression varies from...

Abstract Background Understanding of the biochemical and morphological lesions associated with storage of equine blood is limited. Objective To demonstrate the temporal sequences of lipid and metabolic profiles of equine...

Abstract Background Hyperimmune plasma raised against β‐1→6‐poly‐N‐acetyl glucosamine (PNAG HIP) mediates more opsonophagocytic killing of Rhodococcus equi (R equi) than does R equi hyperimmune plasma (RE ...

Abstract Background Primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) in dogs presents a diagnostic challenge, and clinical markers of severity are lacking. Objectives Identify clinicopathologic features that differentiate pITP fro...

Abstract Background No treatment other than platelet administration is known to protect against spontaneous hemorrhage in thrombocytopenic dogs. Objectives Primary: determine if treatment with ε‐aminocaproic acid (EAC...
