Having your pet tested prior to being placed under anesthesia is very important. Pets are unable to communicate to us weather or not they are feeling well. If your pet had an underlying illnes such as kidney or liver failure the pre-anesthesic bloodwork would tell doctors that before placing your pet under anesthesia. Also pre-anesthesic bloodwork would allow doctors to see if you pet was diabetic. Overall, pre-anesthesic bloodwork will provide you as a pet owner with a peace of mind.
