So we just got back Sparky's blood panel report for his Firday neuter. Everything was perfect except for his potassium levels. The vet said that it is not too elevated that it should concern me but he would like to redo just the potassium the morning of the neuter. He said that it could be a symptom for some heart problem and he does not want to take a risk with anesthesia if it stays elevated. He seem to think that it would be ok and not to worry. But of course I am. What do you guys think?
