Yes! We require an initial exam of your pet prior to surgery. This is typically done 1-2 weeks prior to your pet’s spay or neuter. During this initial exam, the doctor will make sure your pet is healthy enough to undergo surgery. We will also draw blood for our pre-anesthetic screening bloodwork. The pre-anesthetic blood screening tests the organ functions and blood counts of your pet. The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.
