Our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet, especially during anesthesia. Our well-trained staff use state-of-the-art
monitoring equipment and the safest anesthetic available. These precautions help to make our anesthesia very safe for the healthy
pet. Prior to anesthesia, our staff will obtain a complete history of your pet, and the veterinarian will perform a complete physical
examination. This provides us with vital information about your pet’s health. However, it is impossible to understand the
complete physiological picture without performing blood tests. The blood tests we recommend are like, and equally as important,
as those your own physician would run if you were to go under anesthesia.

It is important to understand performing these tests does not guarantee complications will not occur. They are important in
minimizing the risk of anesthesia, and they provide you and us with peace of mind. They may also identify a medical condition
that is not apparent by physical examination alone.

In some cases, abnormal blood tests will cause us to delay a surgical procedure and attempt to diagnose the medical problem
causing the abnormal tests. In many instances, these values will help us determine which pre-medication agents to use for your
pet’s safety and the need for additional medications after surgery. We can alter standard protocols based on your pet’s particular
values. If tests are normal, we can proceed with a greater degree of confidence, and we will have established an excellent set of
baseline values to use and compare should your pet become ill in the future.
