Why never been pregnant? I didn't see any mention of that on the sites I looked at. Does some hormonal change happen in the blood or something after pregnancy and that makes them unable to donate?

Ike has never been pregnant and I doubt Owen will be, just curious

Oh, and how does donation work? I read they use a vein in the neck and the donation takes 25 minutes. How do you keep the dog still for that long? Mine squirm,lol.

I am guessing canine STDs.I know in human blood donation they screen for STDs,and ask a detailed reproductive/social history.(how many partners,were you ever STD positive,are you doing any ''at risk'' behaviours,have you had children or been pregnant,etc)

For human blood donor,I have seen someone take around 20 minutes,I average out at about 10-15 minutes for a bag.Garilynn(who also donates) averages 8- 10 minutes to fill a bag. It depends on the individual how long it takes.
