Up to your neck in fluid therapy questions? Consider the 2024 AAHA Fluid Therapy Guidelines for Dogs and Cats your lifeboat.
🩸 Let’s refresh your minds on simple saline agglutination tests!!
🩸 A slide agglutination test (also called a saline agglutination test) in a dog is a very cost-effective, easy-to-perform test that can easily be done in practice and should be done in a patient with a high index of suspicion for immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). This may be seen with a low PCV, normal TP, and icteric serum/mucous membranes. The slide agglutination test is used to determine if true autoagglutination is occurring (versus non-immune related causes for RBC adhesion, such as rouleux formation).
🩸 Generally, the slide agglutination test consists of placing 1 drop of anti-coagulated blood from a purple top tube or capillary tube on a slide and then 1-2 drops of 0.9% NaCl mixed on the slide(some references utilize 1-2 drops of saline in dogs, and 3-4 drops in cats due to their RBCs being more likely to develop rouleaux formation). The slide is rocked back and forth gently for a few seconds while looking for macroagglutination. If you don’t see this, a coverslip can be placed on the slide and microscope evaluation for microagglutination should be performed (typically considered more than 4-5 RBCs clustered together like grapes). This microagglutination is different from the classic “stack of coins” RBC which is consistent with rouleaux.
🩸 If microagglutination is observed, or if you have questions as to whether you are seeing rouleaux versus agglutination, then the next step is to dilute the sample further with 0.9% saline to try to “break up” the rouleaux (which I call the saline dispersion test); true autoagglutination will not disperse and break up with additional saline. So, based on the newest recommendations, dilute your sample (1:9, if not more!) to try to take away factors that may create a false appearance of agglutination, and look under that ‘scope again!
🩸 Rouleaux can further be differentiated from autoagglutination by adding additional saline and by RBC washing techniques; extra saline often disperses rouleaux but will not disperse true autoagglutination. Keep in mind that running a SAG may or may not confirm IMHA; if agglutination is seen, that is consistent with IMHA; however, since a positive SAG is typically only seen with high RBC antibody levels, a negative SAG doesn’t rule out IMHA and should be followed up with a Coombs (which is controversial) and/or additional testing.

How much weight can a horse carry?
In my experience, a horse can carry an infinite amount.
They can carry the weight of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken bodies. Countless tears sometimes comb their tangled manes. Moments when parents and friends cannot be there to help and hold a person, horses embrace and empower. They carry physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. They carry hopes and dreams; and they will carry the stress from your day when you can’t carry it anymore.
They carry graduations, they carry new careers, they carry moves away from everything familiar, they carry marriages, they carry divorces, they carry funerals, they carry babies before they are born, and sometimes they carry the mothers who cannot carry their own baby. They carry mistakes, they carry joy, they carry the good and they carry the bad. They carry drugs and addictions, but they also carry the celebrations.
They will carry you to success when all you have felt is failure. They will carry you, never knowing the weight of your burdens and triumphs.
If you let them, they will carry you through life, and life is hard, life is heavy. But a horse will make you feel weightless under it all.

Here is a short 157 word post about Independence Day:
Independence Day is celebrated every year on July 4th in the United States. It commemorates the day in 1776 when the 13 American colonies declared their independence from Great Britain and became the United States of America. This was one of the most important events in American history that led to the formation of the country.
On July 4th, 1776 the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and adopted the Declaration of Independence, drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson. This document proclaimed that the 13 colonies were free and independent states and no longer under British rule. They had united to fight against tyranny and oppression from the British crown. July 4th is celebrated annually with parades, fireworks, concerts and other civic events. People gather with family and friends to honor the founding of the nation and the ideals of freedom and democracy. It is a patriotic holiday to celebrate America's independence.
🎆 Heads Up! 🎆
This 4th of July, look up to the skies for breath-taking F-35 flyovers from Luke AFB! 🎇🇺🇸

We discovered this blooming century plant on our ride the other day! 😮 Did you know they only bloom once, and usually that’s at the end of their life, around 25-30 years? 🥲
❤️ This evening we had a wonderful family 🌅 sunset ride through the Sedona red rocks near our home. The kids 👧🏼 👦🏻 excitedly watched as Jarrod and I saddled up Chandler, Moose and Emmaline; then we headed out on a local trail🐴. We wandered through the serene and beautiful 😍 northern desert as the sun set over the red rocks, watching shy deer 🦌 in the distance and majestic birds-of-prey 🦅 fly overhead. The trail opened up to sweeping views of the Coffee Pot ☕️ and Cockscomb 🐓rock formations. We all stopped to take in the magnificent colors 🎨 painting the desert sandstone red-to-orange. 🏜️ It was a tranquil moment watching 👀 dusk arrive. We let the horses pick their way at a leisurely 🏇🏻 pace, enjoying each other’s company in the peaceful scenery. ☮️ All too soon, the last rays disappeared, leaving a beautiful end to our 🌖 evening family time. I am so grateful for these moments. ❤️
Happy Father’s Day!
Make a difference today, y’all! …and don’t forget to count your blessings. 🥰
