Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply Taylor.
I ask here as I honestly forgot what the vet said last time. I will call in advance, but for humans they always seem to need fasting. I just thought the vet might have the same mindset and suggest fasting. If so I need to know what tests really need fasting. For most dogs fasting is no big deal, but for mine, he really needs food frequently or he gets sick.
Thank you again for your experience and advice.
I do hope you and your uncle are feeling better.
