In answer to your question about bloodwork, etc. I would let your vet decide. He is the guy with the experience and education to help you make a decision. I have worked in a vets office for 11 years and we recommend it to our new owners especially before surgery. I wish more of them would have it done and I hope soon we can actually require it before any anesthesia. When I got both of my yorkies we done a full panel when I got first brought them in. One of the arguments of doing it early is it can give your vet a baseline of what the puppy' s normal values are in case something happens down the road. |
