TL;DR: Platelet aggregation decreased after treatment with aspirin and carprofen, whereas significant changes from baseline were not detected for the other drugs tested, suggesting decreased maximum amplitude and α-angle in dogs.

TL;DR: An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction resulting from dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1.1 incompatibility developed in a dog previously sensitized to DEA 1.2 by a transfusion 3 years earlier can be avoided by crossmatching previously transfused dogs and by using dogs that are type DEA 2.1 negative as blood donors.

TL;DR: The point-of-care instrument allowed quick assessment of primary hemostasis in nonanemic dogs and use of this instrument may be helpful for making decisions regarding management of dogs withPrimary hemostatic disorders.

TL;DR: An update on the 2005 American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Consensus Statement on blood donor infectious disease screening was presented at the 2015 ACVIM Forum in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is presented below.

TL;DR: Blood type AE is an extremely rare and separately inherited type in the feline AB blood group system and kittens with type-AB blood are at similar risk for neonatal isoerythrolysis as kittens withtype-A blood because anti-A alloantiserum from blood type-B queens recognizes AB red blood cells.
