Tammy Frank V.T and Mary Grace Harris, Tech Assistant are drawing blood from this kitty for pre-anesthetic testing before a spay surgery. Before being placed under anesthetia, we strongly recommend pre-anesthetic testing. Anesthesia is safe for healthy pets, however complications can occur both during and after the anesthetic procedure. We can minimize the potential risk when we know the health status of your pet before administering anesthesia. In addition, the results of these tests will serve as reference values for future use should your pet become ill.
