Do you have
questions about the laboratory tests that we recommend at
OVH?
Q:
What does it mean when a veterinarian says he or she needs to run
some blood work on your pet?
A: Blood work -
presurgical or otherwise - is usually a combination of a complete
blood count (CBC) and a blood chemical analysis. Blood work is a
basic evaluation tool. Pets, particularly senior ones, should have
a CBC at every annual examination. In addition, blood work allows a
veterinarian to monitor the progression of a pet's disease.
