Important Safety Update for Surgery Patients!
To ensure the safest possible care for our patients, we are implementing an additional requirement for all animals aged 6 and older scheduled for a spay or neuter surgery.
What this means:
• Pets 6 years and older will be required to have pre-surgery blood work
• This blood work must be completed at least one week before the scheduled surgery date
Why is this important?
Pre-surgery blood work helps ensure that your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia.
If blood work is completed at another veterinary clinic:
• It must have been done within 90 days of the scheduled surgery
• It should include a general health screening of the blood (often called a pre-surgical CBC and chemistry panel)
If you have any questions please call 941-957-1955.
