I had a Maltese/Yorkie mix rescue that had bloodwork done before his neuter surgery. They found that he had anemia and that his blood was not clotting as good as it should. We had to build him up for 6 wks before he was ok to do the surgery. He was in rough shape when I got him @ 5 wks. He would also faint when he got his shots. His sister was the same way. That's the only time the bloodwork paid for itself. It's kind of like insurance. You pay for it and most of the time you really don't need it...but when you do.... |
