Chronic bleeding due to extensive haemorrhage from a
ruptured corpus haemorrhagicum developed 2–4 weeks
after parturition and was identified as the cause for a
haemoperitoneum in a 7-year-old Shetland Pony mare,
leading to anaemia. Diagnosis was made upon exploratory
coeliotomy and a unilateral ovariectomy was performed.
Intra- and post operatively, the mare received autologous
blood transfusions of noncitrated blood. To our knowledge,
this is the first report of an autologous blood transfusion
accomplished using noncitrated blood collected from the
abdominal cavity.
