WHY LAB WORK??

Blood work and urinalysis is recommended at least once a year for many reasons.  Depending on a pet's medical problem we may do blood work and urine every few months. Vets can use baseline values to determine if a problem is lurking and start treatment.  A pet may look and act perfectly healthy, but lab work may tell a vet something different.  Many problems, if detected early and before the pet is showing clinical signs, may be treated more effectively.   If sick, lab work results can be compared to previous results to hopefully determine the problem. Blood work also tells vets what medicines to or to not give and what anesthesia to or to not use.  Why is Preanesthetic Blood work Necessary? For DOGS, CATS?  Why is Blood work Necessary?  Can Testing Uncover Hidden Health Problems in DOGS and CATS? How can you understand Blood work and Urine? What are the common questions you may have?
