title: A successful transfusion in a tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) using both whole blood and blood replacement products.
abstract: A 10-yr-old tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) presented with severe lethargy and ataxia. Severe anemia (9% hematocrit) was diagnosed and ultimately resolved with the administration of a whole blood transfusion from conspecific and additional blood replacement products (Oxyglobin). This is the first described use of a whole blood transfusion in an edentate.
