Feline Neonatal Isoerythrolysis and the Importance of Feline Blood Types

Figure 2

Schematic representation of feline neonatal isoerythrolysis treatment. To wash red blood cells, 2 to 3 mL donor blood should be collected into EDTA and centrifuged; the supernatant should then be discarded. The blood is restored with isotonic saline solution into twice its volume and again centrifuged. After discarding supernatant, repeat this action and dilute cells to transfusion with an equal saline volume.
