Sometimes blood work will come back with a problem and a good vet would know not to perform any kind of surgery if it puts a pet at risk...

I'd be devestated too if something like that ever happened to my girls but again - the vet is protected as are doctors.

I'm sorry for your loss
I've had the bloodwork done too but the vet made sure to tell me that there is still no guarantee when it comes to surgery; just like humans. I don't think we should be blaming the OP that her dog died during surgery.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
