Abstract
Feline blood transfusion is a relatively uncommon veterinary practice in India. In contrast to dogs, cats possess naturally occurring alloantibodies against the blood type antigen they lack and mismatched transfusion with type A blood given to a type B cat will result in a very serious acute hernolytic transfusion reaction and death. A 3 year old male recumbent Domestic Short hair tom cat weighing 3.2 kgs was admitted in the Small Animal Inpatient ward of the Madras Veterinary College Hospital with a recent history of road traffic trauma involving right fore limb crush injury and severe blood loss.
