Background:

  • Anemia is a primary reason for blood transfusions in cats.
  • Fresh whole blood is the typical transfusion product used.
  • Feline plasma contains naturally occurring alloantibodies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical importance of blood typing and crossmatching in feline transfusions.
  • To emphasize the risks associated with mismatched blood transfusions in cats.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current veterinary transfusion practices.
  • Discussion of feline immunology relevant to transfusion reactions.

Main Results:

  • Mismatched transfusions in cats are ineffective.
