any vet types here know how a dog could give a cat a blood transfusion? I'd think it would like, kill the recipient to give blood across species...

He needed blood - and he needed it now. Cats, like humans, have blood types. Us humans are lucky to have a “universal donor” type, O-, that can be safely transfused into a person with any other type. Cats, however, don’t have the luxury of a universal donor type, and transfusing the wrong blood could have dire consequences. Our kitten couldn’t wait for testing to be done to determine a suitable feline donor, but veterinary science has a trick up its sleeve: canine blood can be transfused into felines.
It’s called xenotransfusion, and it’s a common practice in cases like this. While it’s not a permanent solution, it gave our kitten what he needed most: time
