    I’ve come across this too, we used it quite commonly when I was at Liverpool as we all know how difficult it is getting feline blood donors (usually in unfriendly hours!).
    My understanding is that the RBCs don’t last that long (perhaps Scott can help with specifics) and you can only do it once, but it is life saving in many cases.

    I am not used to looking at images of the bladder either, the heart is further forwards!! Getting my excuses in early 🙂

    It appears that there is normal contrast within the urethra to the level of the prostate. At the prostate you have an odd pattern of accumulation of contrast and there is a small stream of contrast that enters the bladder, but this is less well opacified than the prostate/ urethra. There also appears to be contrast uptake within a tubular structure that moves cranially from the prostate. I am not sure what this is, I initially thought it was the descending aorta, but that doesn’t makes sense. Is there some sort of fistula to bowel/ venous system?
