Abstract
The blood typing of 300 dogs using commercial the KABB Dog Blood Typing Kit revealed DEA 1 system positive in 88.7% of animals with DEA 1.1 in 80.0% and DEA 1.2 in 8.7 % while 11.3% dogs were negative for DEA 1 system. Pitbull had the highest prevalence of DEA 1.1 type (82.97%) while beagle has the lowest prevalence (77.66%). Retrospective study was carried out on canine patients presented to the small animal medicine OPD of the multi-speciality hospital of GADVASU, Ludhiana to study hospital prevalence of anaemia. A total of 30825 dog cases were presented in the last three years (2019 to 2021) and case prevalence of anaemia on the basis of presentation of cases (n =6197) and CBC reports (n=4108) was recorded to be 13.32% and 66.29% respectively. Idiopathic anaemia (20.74%), liver (14.89%) and renal disorders (11.31%) were the predominant aetiology observed in this present study. A total 20 anaemic canine patients were incorporated for whole blood and pRBC transfusion study (whole blood transfusion = 13; pRBC = 7). The initial haemoglobin level in the whole blood group significantly increased (p
