Successful autologous transfusion from the subcutaneous space in a domestic shorthair cat with suspected anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity
Case summary A 6-month-old female entire domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 4-day history of progressive swelling over the dorsal cranium. Subsequent diagnostics revealed a large haematoma, a secondary haemostatic defect and a moderate anaemia. The owner disclosed access to multiple brodifa...

| description | Case summary A 6-month-old female entire domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 4-day history of progressive swelling over the dorsal cranium. Subsequent diagnostics revealed a large haematoma, a secondary haemostatic defect and a moderate anaemia. The owner disclosed access to multiple brodifacoum bait stations. The anaemia and haematoma progressed despite treatment with fresh frozen plasma and phytonadione and the cat developed signs of haemorrhagic shock. Allogenic transfusion was declined due to cost and 18 ml of blood was aspirated from the haematoma and transfused. The cat stabilised quickly and was discharged the next day with oral phytonadione. Relevance and novel information Autologous transfusion from the subcutaneous space has not been previously reported. It was well tolerated and life-saving in this case. |
