Why does my pet need to repeat blood work testing for certain medications?
Your pet’s successful therapy depends on monitoring. This ensures that the medications are working as intended and that any possible side effects are being noted. You are your pet’s health care advocate. Closely following your veterinarian’s dosing instructions, immediately reporting any changes in your pet’s attitude or appearance and adhering to the recommended lab testing schedule will ensure your pet is receiving the maximum benefit from therapeutic drug treatment.
