What is bloodwork for pets?
A chemistry blood analysis is a blood test that we send to a local laboratory and have it analyzed to evaluate major organ function and other vital body processes. Liver, kidney, and hormonal abnormalities can be detected. We also do a complete blood count (CBC) to evaluate the bodies response to infectious disease and to evaluate red blood cells. We often recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to make sure there are no underlying body problems that may present a problem while your pet is under anesthesia.
