In a remarkable display of canine compassion, a 10-year-old Golden Retriever named Koko donated blood to save Leo, a 10-month-old Doberman suffering from a severe blood disorder in Kolkata. Leo's hemoglobin levels had dangerously dropped to 3, well below the safe minimum of 14.1, necessitating an immediate transfusion. The life-saving procedure was conducted at the Animal Health Pathological Lab in South Kolkata. This event marks the city's first canine blood transfusion of the year and underscores the critical need for awareness about pet blood donations. Leo's recovery will continue with dialysis and chemotherapy.
