Retrovirus Testing: Current AAFP guidelines recommend testing newly adopted cats of any age for FeLV and FIV. Retrovirus testing can diagnose infection (not just clinical disease). Cats with FeLV or FIV infections may live for many years and pass the infection to other cats. *
Intravenous Fluids: IV fluids are mandatory for all canine & feline spays, canine neuters and other major surgical procedures. Administration of intravenous fluids will help to maintain your pet's blood pressure and increase his/her circulation during the anesthetic. It will also help him/her to recover more quickly. The intravenous catheter is also used to administer medication if needed. Pre-anesthetic blood testing: Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet. Before putting your pet under anesthesia, we recommend a blood test (CBC/Chemistry screen) and/or a coagulation screening test (PT/APTT) to help reduce many of the risks of surgery. Many conditions are not apparent upon physical examination and cannot be identified until a blood test is performed.
Please note, if any evidence of fleas is seen on your pet Central Animal Hospital will apply a treatment at your expense.
