Ok is there is list of what blood types should not be mated together?
I get the different types and possible problems with transfusions:
Canine Blood Typing
Typing canine blood for purposes of identifying suitable blood donors
can be performed by screening methods (in-clinic commercial blood
typing cards), which type only for the canine DEA 1.1 blood group
antigen, or by diagnostic reference laboratories that offer the
preferred, more comprehensive typing profiles. At Antech Diagnostics,
typing is available for the canine blood group antigens DEA 1.1, 1.2
and 7, a more complete but still not ideal typing profile, as well as
the most complete profile that types for all known canine blood group
antigens. The ideal canine blood donor has the blood type designation
DEA 4, and is typed as negative for all known blood group antigens
except 4. While the clinically most important canine red blood cell
antigens belong to the DEA 1.1, 1.2 and 7 phenotypes, transfusion
incompatibilities can arise against the other antigens, especially
DEA 3. As veterinary clinics frequently screen greyhounds available
from the racing industry to identify potential blood donors, it is
important to realize that up to 23% of greyhounds are DEA 3-positive,
as opposed to a frequency of ~ 6% in the general dog population.
Administration of DEA 3-positive red blood cells to a previously
sensitized DEA 3- negative dog results in loss of the transfused red
cells within 5 days and can produce severe, acute transfusion
reactions. Naturally occurring anti-DEA 3 antibody has been reported
in up to 20% of DEA 3-negative dogs, so the risk of mismatched DEA 3
transfusions is relatively high, especially if greyhounds are the
source of donor blood. This problem is avoided by selecting only
true "universal donor" dogs (i.e., DEA 4).
In felines I understand neonatal isoerythrolysis and especially in
certain breeds to type your toms and queens.
Just wondering about canines?
