Ensuring Your Pet’s Safety: The Importance of Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work
🌟 Ensuring Your Pet’s Safety: The Importance of Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work 🌟
Before any surgery or procedure requiring anesthesia, our furry companions undergo pre-anesthetic blood tests—and for good reason! These vital tests help us evaluate your pet’s overall health and detect any underlying conditions that could complicate anesthesia.
🔍 Why is this important?
1 Organ Function Assessment: Blood tests provide insights into liver and kidney function, which are crucial for metabolizing anesthesia safely. Any abnormalities can alert us to potential risks, allowing us to adjust our anesthesia plan accordingly.
2 Electrolyte Balance: Maintaining proper electrolyte levels is essential for heart and muscle function. Blood work helps us identify any imbalances that need to be addressed prior to surgery.
3 Identifying Hidden Issues: Many health issues, such as infections or anemia, may not show obvious symptoms. Pre-anesthetic testing can reveal these conditions, ensuring we don’t overlook anything that could impact your pet’s safety during the procedure.
4 Tailored Anesthesia: With a clear understanding of your pet’s health, we can choose the most appropriate anesthetic agents and dosages, minimizing risks and optimizing their recovery.
By taking these proactive steps, we prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being, giving you peace of mind during what can be a stressful time. 🐾💙

Importance of microchipping your pets
At our clinic, we are committed to providing the utmost care for every stray dog that comes through our doors. If you encounter a stray, we encourage you to bring them in. We will scan for microchips to assist in reuniting them with their owners 🐶🐱
Microchips serve as a vital resource. This small device, implanted under the dog’s skin, contains a unique ID number linked to your contact information. When a stray is presented to our clinic, we can scan the microchip to access the owner’s details.
It is essential to keep your microchip information current. Updating your details is straightforward—simply contact the microchip registry with which your dog is registered and provide them with your new information.
If you are uncertain about the registry, please do not hesitate to call our clinic, and our staff will assist in looking up the microchip number and details. Together, we can work towards reuniting lost pets with their families💙. #MicrochipAwareness #PetSafety”
