PET INFORMATION

In the past 48 hours has your pet experienced any of the following?







Our greatest concern is the wellbeing of your pet. Before any sedation is administered, we will perform a complete pre-anesthetic examination to identify existing medical conditions that could complicate the procedure and compromise your pet’s health. There is always the possibility that a pre-anesthetic exam alone will not identify all health problems. This is why blood testing is recommended prior to anesthesia. This does not guarantee the absence of anesthetic complications. It may, however, greatly reduce the risk of complications as well as identify medical conditions that could require treatment.

 

Comprehensive Blood Panel: This is the most complete blood screen available using our in-hospital laboratory. This panel includes red blood and white blood cell counts, a check on kidney and liver function, and electrolyte levels.

 

If your pet has not had a comprehensive blood screening performed and reported as ‘normal’ within three months of their scheduled anesthesia/sedation, this test is recommended to do one.
