Please withhold food from your pet from 8pm starting the night before the procedure. It is ok to offer water until the morning of procedure.
PreAnesthetic bloodwork is strongly recommended prior to any anesthetic procedure to ensure that your pet is in a low-risk category prior to anesthesia. The results of these tests also serve as a baseline reference value should your pet become ill in the future.
If your pet is middle-aged (5 years) or older, current bloodwork is required before any anesthetic procedure. (If it has been longer than 6 months since your pet’s last blood panel, the doctor may require it).
If your dog weighs 25 pounds or less, bloodwork is required before any anesthetic procedure.
