No, Ellie isn't fasted unless the vet needs her to be or she isn't feeling well. Because of her health issues, I wouldn't even consider doing it but even with a healthy dog, I wouldn't do it either.
I haven't seen any studies (links?) done that are peer-reviewed about this. I had read that some people do this, especially with large dogs but I'd have to pass. In small dogs, I'd be extremely concerned about their bodies storing up enough sugar to get them through it and it seems very unhealthy because of that.
