I don't think location will matter too much. Kathleen is currently looking into getting blood imported from America! If it turns out that we need to look for a donor for Nollaig I'll get in touch with the full details. Thank you Fiona!

William is in the right weight range (BIG beagle!)and he was very good about the needle when he's had to have a blood test, but I don't see how we could get the blood up to your part of the world :( Have you been in touch with the Beagle Welfare people?

If nothing else honey would be a nice treat! I think Beagles probably are too light. Louise is going to ask her vet if Tess can give blood but I expect not. Apparently Greyhounds make the best donors, so if you come across any of them on your travels... I hope Kathleen and Neil won't mind me saying this, but Nollaig isn't insured (for what seemed like sensible reasons at the time) and the bills have been unbelievable and are still mounting up at hundreds of pounds a week. They're also being hit by one disaster after another with family health problems etc. If we can just get some potential donors lined up it will be one small worry off their plate. I just wish there was something more we could do. Kathleen's always been so quick to help others when needed. Thanks Hazel, I’ll let Kathleen know. If nothing else honey would be a nice treat!

Sophie is too light for a transfusion but i'll ask around the park. This may sound crazy but could they try this honey - http://www.lifemel.com/ and http://www.lifemel.co.uk/ - it improves blood cell count in people who are having radio and chemotherapy and Sophie's had a lick at the spoon when i've given some out and loved it. Anything is worth a try i guess. that is the saddest thing i’m so sad for her. Sophie is too light for a transfusion but i’ll ask around the park.
