Pre-surgical Preparation and Testing

in Norwalk, CA

At AM PM Ideal Spay & Neuter Clinic, we are dedicated to the health of your pet. The best way to minimize the risk is for your pet to have a complete pre-surgical evaluation before the procedure.

What is involved in Blood Testing:

Routine pre-surgical blood testing typically includes a complete blood count (CBC) and a serum biochemistry profile; these tests provide important information about your pet's health status (see handouts "Complete Blood Count" and "Serum Biochemistry").

Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Blood Testing

Pre-surgical blood testing provides valuable information about your pet's overall health before undergoing anesthesia. These tests help identify potential concerns that may not be visible during a physical examination, allowing our veterinary team to make informed decisions about your pet's care and safety.

Results from pre-surgical blood testing can help detect underlying health conditions and determine whether additional medical evaluation is recommended before surgery.

Feline Viral Testing (FeLV/FIV)

For feline patients, we also offer testing for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). These viral diseases can impact a cat's immune system and overall health, making testing an important consideration when planning surgical procedures.
