Presurgical bloodwork is typically a blood panel that is drawn to screen your pet for unpredicted health problems that might complicate anesthesia. We routinely check liver and kidney enzyme levels, blood sugar, and protein levels. In some cases, we may recommend additional work that may be particular to your pet’s medical history or surgical needs.
