STOMPer unique079 is urgently seeking blood donors for her sister's dog, Nicole. Nicole is sick with tick fever, which is destroying her red blood cells. Her vet says that she may need blood donations from other dogs.
Said the STOMPer:
"Help! My sister's dog Nicole has tick fever and it is destroying her red blood cells and platelets. She is currently on steroids and anti-biotics and she has to be brought in for review again this Saturday.
The vet wants her to find some dogs to donate blood, just in case. The criteria for donors are:
1. Between 1 to 6 years old
2. Must be 20 kg or above
If anyone is willing to help, please contact me at de_yex@yahoo.com.sg or 98281992. We will cover all your medical and transport expenses".

just to updated to you our nicole had went back to review at mount plasant and the vet said nicole red blood cell is still on the low side so the vet had given nicole another stronger medicine and had to take for ten day so hopefully after the ten day nicole red blood cell will increase and does not need trans blood for nicole. now i have two dog in standby now...so hopefully nicole doesn`t need to use it cos every dog life is very important to the owner..... this is my sis blog you can get update from there too http://www.jl-eternalove.blogspot.com
