Does my pet have to have blood work done before undergoing anesthesia?Performing blood work before anesthesia alerts the doctor to potential risks your pet may have in undergoing anesthesia. The pre-anesthesia blood screen shows liver and kidney values, glucose levels, etc. If the blood work is abnormal, the scheduled procedure may need to be rescheduled and additional testing may be needed.
-
Why does my pet have to have the heartworm test every year?The heartworm test does not just test for heartworms; it also tests for these common tick-bourne diseases: Ehrlichia, Anaplasma and Lyme. If you give your pet a monthly heartworm preventative, they are protected against heartworms, hookworms and roundworms; however, they do not have protection from the common tick-bourne diseases in the our area. Testing once per year means we can begin treatment in a timely manner if your pet should contract one of these diseases. Left undetected, these diseases can cause lameness and other health complications.
-
When can I start vaccinations for my puppy or kitten?Vaccinations can be started at 8 weeks of age. Some vaccinations require boosters every 3-5 weeks until the puppy or kitten reaches 16 weeks of age. At 16 weeks of age, the puppy or kitten can receive the rabies vaccination.
