American shorthair cat "Xiao Er" donates blood.
New Evening News, April 6 "There is a cat in the pet hospital who is in critical condition. It needs strong cats to donate life-saving blood. If you are able, please help. If you are unable, please move your fingers and forward the message. "On April 4, this distress message was forwarded by many volunteers. Within a day, dozens of well-wishers called to ask their cats to donate blood. Finally, a kitten less than one year old was successfully matched with the sick cat and helped it to be reborn.
On the evening of April 3, Ms. Fu's Garfield cat Dafu accidentally injured its mouth while playing. The blood was flowing out, and after simple treatment at the pet hospital, the bleeding was stopped. Unexpectedly, the next morning, Dafu's mouth spurted blood, and the situation was very critical. Due to Dafu's heavy bleeding and severe anemia, the surgery was risky, so he had to find a cat with the same blood type to donate blood to him.
At this time, Xiaoke was in the pet hospital. After learning about Dafu's condition, he immediately sent a message for help on WeChat. A minute later, his friend Zhao Na called and said that she had several cats at home and wanted to try holding them. At the doctor's reminder, Zhao Na brought in two healthy kittens. After sampling, the American shorthair cat Xiaoer was successfully matched with Dafu.
Although Xiaoer is less than one year old, he is very strong. When drawing blood, the medical staff hugged Xiaoer, blocked the cat’s face, grabbed the cat’s paws, and drew a total of 80ml of blood. “80ml is the maximum amount of blood the cat can bear, which is equivalent to 1/8 of the blood in its body. Xiaoer was very good at drawing blood and did not bark or make noises. "The owner Zhao Na said.
Yesterday, the reporter saw that Dafu's surgery was successful at the pet hospital and he was already able to eat.
Cat's blood type
The reporter interviewed many pet hospital doctors and learned that cats also have blood types like humans, but there are several blood types that have not yet been clearly determined. When transfusing blood into kittens, blood transfusions between cats of the same blood type rarely cause problems, but mixing blood with different blood types can cause hemolytic reactions, leading to anaphylactic shock or even death of the cat. Therefore, before blood transfusion, a centrifuge should be used to test the blood of the supply and demand kittens to see if the serum is fused. If there is no rejection, it means they are of the same blood type
