my dog may have a blood transfusion today for anemia. Do dogs get to come home the same day as a transfusion?

this would depend very much on Dasiys underlying condition and whether this needs ongoing hospital treatment as well as the blood transfusion. Many dogs in need of transfusions would be hospitalised due to the severity of their symptoms but if she is stable she may be allowed home the same day. Contact your vets office to discuss her treatment plan

Depending on the cause of the anemia and the clinical signs associated with it, your vet may want to keep your dog to monitor her condition. It is possible that she could come home the same day so the best thing would be to discuss with your vet.
