I would have the blood test done, most definitely! Blood chemistry information that they glean out of these tests gives valuable information on its clotting abilities, hemoglobin load capabilities and Lymphocyte information pertaining to any current infection etc. Not to mention they give the vet information about how the liver and kidneys are functioning; these two are especially important, as they are the two organs that will be filtering out the anesthersia during the procedure. That is where most problems occur, so my opinion is, do not take a chance......get it done. And good luck! |
