Anesthesia is a procedure that requires all organs to be working well. When we evaluate the blood work, we determine that the kidneys and liver are functioning correctly along with normal levels of red blood cells and white blood cells are present. If abnormal finding is noted, then we either change our anesthesia protocol or wait on doing the surgery until a cause for the abnormal finding is diagnosed. Our goal at Lake Anna Veterinary Hospital is to perform the safest anesthesia possible and return your dog or cat to you alive!
