Your pet is scheduled for a procedure that requires anesthesia/sedation. As previously discussed, it is recommended to have preanesthetic blood work done. Completion of this form states that you acknowledge the risk and would like to proceed with anesthesia/sedation without blood work. If you decide you would like to proceed with blood work, please call the clinic at 613-825-2902.
Geriatric pets: All pets over 7 years of age are considered geriatric. Due to the higher incidence of diseases in this age group, the risk of anesthesia related problems is increased. In order to mitigate these risks, all geriatric patients are required to have preanesthetic blood testing.
