If there had been anything showing in the bloodwork we would have waited... | YorkieRose, I guess I should have worded differently...What I was trying to say is that getting bloodwork done before surgery could help determine if the dog might do okay under anesthesia due to liver problems or something like that...Like I said, if ALT is elevated or certain other things are off, then the vet would want to put it off to find out what's causing the problem. Ya know?
I'm really sorry about your little yorkie :( |
