Hi all,

So my baby Lila is 8 months old (I'm a new mom) and is scheduled to be spayed on 3/21. My vet suggests I do bile acid testing before the surgery. However, I can't afford the testing at this time. But I'm worried about the risks of anesthesia. Has anyone done the testing without pre-op lab work? Should I even risk it?

Also, the operation is being done at a low-cost clinic in my area, what do you guys think of those clinics? They never mentioned preoperative testing other than a physical exam. Please help because I'm very scared.

Lila's mom.
