Pre-anaesthetic blood testing is important because it provides information about your pet's kidney and liver function, as well as their red blood cell levels and hydration status. These factors can affect how your pet responds to anaesthesia and sedation, and can help our vets make informed decisions about the best approach to take for your pet's safety.
Pre-anaesthetic blood testing is not always required, but it is highly recommended by our vets in some instances. It may be necessary for older pets, pets with a history of health problems, or pets undergoing more invasive procedures. Our vets will discuss the benefits of pre-anaesthetic blood testing with you and recommend it as appropriate.
Pre-anaesthetic blood testing involves a simple blood draw, which may cause some mild discomfort for your pet. However, our experienced staff will take every effort to minimize any discomfort and make the process as stress-free as possible for your pet.
Pre-anaesthetic blood testing should be done ideally at least 24 hours before the procedure to allow time for the results to be analyzed and any necessary adjustments made. However, if it's not possible to do the testing in advance, it can be done on the same day as the procedure if needed.
The cost of pre-anaesthetic blood testing may vary depending on the type of tests done and the specific needs of your pet. Our staff will provide you with an estimate of the cost before any testing is done so that you can make an informed decision. We also offer affordable packages that bundle pre-anaesthetic blood testing with other services your pet may need.
