An estimate of total blood volume in a dog is about 7% of its total (lean) body weight. A dog can lose 10% of its blood volume and be ok, but once it gets to 25% of its total blood volume then chances of survival are only 50:50. To get a rough estimate of blood loss, a 4x4 inch swab holds about 10-15mls of blood if saturated.
Example, a 5kg dog has a blood volume of 350mls. If this dog loses over ~90mls of blood, then its survival is 50:50.
