🐾 The Power of Canine Blood Donors - Today, Three Little Lives Were Saved 🩸✨

Today we were reminded just how vital canine blood donors are in veterinary medicine.

We admitted three tiny Border Collie puppies, each weighing around 700g, who urgently needed life-saving blood transfusions. Their haematocrit levels (the percentage of red blood cells in their total blood volume) were shockingly low—just 7% to 12%, when the normal range for dogs is 35% to 55%.

To put that into perspective:
another couple of hours and these pups would not have survived 💔

And yet, all they needed was 30ml of blood, swift action and some TLC.
It sounds like nothing… until you don’t have it.
That small amount was the difference between life and death.

Thankfully, we have some absolute superhero canine blood donors who rushed to the rescue. Because of them, all three pups received transfusions in time, and their donations will help future patients in need too.

Saving these pups took an entire team:
❤️ the rescuers who acted fast
❤️ the veterinary team who stabilised and treated them
❤️ and the future owners waiting to love them

This is why blood donors in dogs are truly lifesavers 🌟

Did you know:
A single 500ml canine blood donation bag can save one large dog… or up to 16 tiny little bodies like these pups.

🏆We offer one free vaccine for every donor dog as a small token of our appreciation and gratitude🫶

If you have a healthy dog and would like to help, please consider calling us and applying to be one of our blood donors.

🐶💉 Canine blood donors: saving lives one drop at a time.
Thank you to our heroes, Augie and Huckleberry Finn🩸✨

✨ Festive Season Pet Care Reminder! ✨
As we dive into the holiday fun, don’t forget to keep your furry family members organised too! 🐾🎄
If your pet relies on prescription medication or follows a special diet, make sure to order everything in advance. Vets, pharmacies, and suppliers get extra busy this time of year, and early planning helps avoid last-minute hiccups or delays.
A little prep now means a happy, healthy holiday for your pets — and peace of mind for you. 🐶🐱💛
Wishing you and your four-legged friends a joyful, stress-free festive season! ✨🎁

🌿 Wildlife Thursday at Singleton Veterinary Hospital 🌿
This little joey came into our care under heartbreaking circumstances after her mum sadly passed away in an accident. 💔🐾
During her exam and diagnostics, we discovered she had a broken arm. With a gentle bandage, lots of cuddles, and a whole team cheering her on, she was stabilised and made comfortable. 💚
She’s now off to a dedicated wildlife carer for rehabilitation, where she’ll continue healing and growing strong. 🦘✨
We’re so grateful to everyone in the community who looks out for our wildlife - every call makes a difference. 💛
