I agree that I will get the bloodwork redrawn at a later date without him being water restricted prior to that. Same with the urine test. |
Okay, I wasn't thinking that the neuter was supposed to happen today, thus the sedation. I still have no idea why they would do it before the results of the blood work came back though. The results of blood work could show things like liver problems and you would want the results to know which drugs aren't the best choices...
