“…Richard Lower in 1665 transfused the blood in a dog for the first time in the history (Kumar, 2017). It is vital part of veterinary emergency and critical care medicine (Mamak and Aytekin, 2012). Nowadays blood transfusion is commonly performed in pet animal practice apart from human medicine (Lanevschi and W ardrop, 2001).…”

Background: In view of common occurrence of haemoprotozoan infections leading to severe haemolytic anaemia and increased case fatality rate in cattle in study area the present investigation was planned to evaluate efficacy of whole blood transfusion as an adjunct therapy in severe cases of hemolytic anaemia in cattle. Method: Sixteen cattle suffering from one or other haemoprotozoan infections induced haemolytic anaemia and having haemoglobin values less than 5 gm/dl were randomly divided in to two treatment groups. Group A (n=8) cattle were treated with standard treatment of haemoprotozoan infection without blood transfusion while group B (n=8) cattle were treated with whole blood transfusion in addition to standard treatment for haemoprotozoan infections. Result: Clinical and haematological parameters revealed rapid improvement in group B cattle as compared to group A cattle. The survival rate was significantly higher in group B cattle (100%) as compared to group A cattle (62.5%). The haemoglobin and haematocrit values were also found significantly higher in group B as compared to group A at 12 hours as well as on 21st day post treatment. Thus, it is concluded that, whole blood transfusion could be used as an adjunct therapy to hasten clinical recovery and to increase the survivability in cattle suffering from severe haemolytic anaemia due to haemoprotozoan infections.

“…In veterinary medicine, red blood cell transfusion forms an integral part of life-saving procedures which are used in critically ill animals (Weingart et al, 2004;Mamak & Aytekin, 2012). It is indicated in the treatment of anemia caused by hemorrhage, hemolysis, ineffective erythropoiesis, African trypanosomosis and gastrointestinal helminths (Mudge, 2010).…”

A 4-year-old Kano brown doe weighing 20kg from a flock of 5 does was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Ahmadu Bello University Zaria with complaints of unthriftness, emaciation inappetence, weakness and pasty diarrhea of two weeks duration. Thorough physical examination revealed pale mucous membranes with submandibular edema and puffy face which were indications of hypoproteinemia. Hematological results indicated a packed cell volume (PCV) of 12% on the day of presentation and 9% on the third day. Fecal culture revealed Haemonchus larvae. Blood (400mls) from a donor buck in the goat pen of the faculty was transfused on the third day of presentation through the jugular vein. Two days later a blood sample was collected and a hemogram was performed, the result indicated an appreciable PCV value (15%) and a hemoglobin concentration of 5g/dl. It can therefore be concluded that blood transfusion can be a life-saving procedure in haemonchosis induced anaemia.
