Our pre-surgical bloodwork includes a complete blood count (CBC) and full chemistry panel. This is a basic evaluation tool that allows us to check their RBC, WBC, platelets, protein, kidney, liver, electrolytes, glucose, calcium and phosphorus values.
In healthy puppies, this is a great way to confirm that there are no congenital or sub-clinical medical concerns, or concerns that may affect anesthesia for their spay/neuter or COHAT procedure. It also provides a good baseline for those dog breeds or individuals that normally have values that tend to be low or elevated in comparison to the reference range but still be healthy.
