I think it's necessary. I mean, yes, the dog will most likely do fine having no bloodwork or BAT at all...dogs are put under all the time without these and do fine. But if it were MY dog, I'd rather be safe than sorry..I'd hate for HER to be the one in whatever number that dies on the table because she has a problem that could have been detected in a blood panel or BAT. I guess if someone wants to take that chance...then no, it isn't necessary
