ccquinlan Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hey there, I'm Craig and I'm an emergency veterinarian. I'm trying to get a blood bank up and running in my clinic so that I can produce blood products for cats and dogs. I'm hoping that this site will offer me some good tips on some of the basics with respect to equipment and such. I think that I am likely working on a much more basic level than many of you, but I hope to garner some useful info.i like big, pixley smileys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L106 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Welcome to Blood Bank Talk, Craig.I have read several articles about veterinary blood banking (but not recently, so I can't cite the references), and I have had two friends whose dogs had autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Dog, cat , and horse, etc., blood serology is quite different from the human blood groups (as I am sure that you know.) The testing and collection equipment would probably be similar in concept, yet quite different than what we use on humans. I would think that it would be most useful to visit other veterinarian clinics that have already established blood bank services.I'm sure many of us on Blood Bank Talk would be very interested to hear more about veterinarian blood banking and what you learn, so please post and share some of the information with us!
