Quoted: Dr. Julie Walker with small animal emergency and critical care at the UW Veterinary Clinic said emergency case load has increased by 40 percent in the past few years, making a solid blood supply even more important. She said the clinic is performing as many as 15 transfusions in a typical week.
“The blood donor program is something that only the people who have had a pet involved in receiving or maybe donating blood are currently aware of,” Walker said.
