#ctenocephalides spp

Last week we did our first blood transfusion in over a year! It was on a teeny hound puppy with anemia from fleas and hookworms. Luthien was our donor! Here she is showing off her clipped spot :)

Alas, I didn’t get permission to post pics of the pupper, but she did well between the transfusion, parasite control, and good supportive care. We’ll see her again soon for her vaccines and to continue with preventatives.
