Ellie doesn't have a problem with fasting, so I don't ask the vet to do her first. She does gets fluids throughout the procedure though.
Thanks for the reply

Jack was saying I should call and insist on an IV for him, like you said, with sugar. I would hope this is something they would automatically do, if needed

I did give him some extra food last night, and pushed his evening meal to 7:30 / 8pm so he would not be soooo hungry today.

Hopefully it will all work out well
