You should have infection ruled out prior to surgery. Cutting any creature with an infection and worsen and spread it. Also, PAWS gives you the option of blood work preop to check different metabolic functions like kidney function that would, if compromised, inhibit the metabolizing and excretion the anesthesia. It's more important in little dogs. But, this is an option and costs extra but is still a bargain @ PAWS. Good luck! |
