 Surgical Fees do not include the following:

· Pre-Anesthetic Blood tests (we do highly recommend these blood tests which are effective in determining the overall health of your pet.  They help with the early detection of liver and kidney problems, anemia, and internal health problems which may, in turn, modify our anesthetic protocols and help to decrease the risks associated with anesthesia.)

· Fees for special procedures (cryptorchid, dew-claw removals, umbilical hernias, etc)

· Fees for pets in-heat , pregnant, or significantly overweight as these conditions increase surgical time, anesthesia and  materials required

· E-collars

·  Vaccines, de-worming, microchips, and other additional services available

Why is Pre-Anesthetic Blood Testing Important?

Our greatest concern is for the health and safety of our patients.  In addition to the full physical exam, the blood tests are another key diagnostic tool we can use to help identify underlying medical conditions including, but not limited to, liver and kidney problems, blood disorders, existing infections/inflammation, diabetes, and other endocrine disorders.   Not only are these test very important in our older pets, whose body functions can diminish with age, but also, they can be very useful to help identify early genetic or congenital problems of the kidneys, liver or other organs in young kittens and puppies.  These are often undetectable until a time when their systems are challenged by a stressor, such as an anesthetic procedure.  Having knowledge of these situations prior to anesthesia may alter our protocols or even raise enough concern to cancel the anesthesia/procedure, as this higher risk may warrant further evaluation before proceeding.  In addition, all blood values are very important in evaluating the overall health of the internal organs responsible for processing and eliminating the anesthetics and medications given for these procedures.   In other words, these blood tests truly give invaluable information as to the internal health of our pets.

Our Mini Health Screen ($50) consists of the 6 blood chemistry values and a Packed Cell Volume (PCV):

            Blood Chemistries:

BUN and Creatinine are measured as an indication of kidney function

Alt and Alk Phos are measured to evaluate the health of the liver

Blood Glucose indicates overall health as well as an indicator for diabetes and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Total Protein evaluates for existing inflammation, overall general health, hydration levels

 Packed Cell Volume evaluates anemia, overall general health, hydration levels

This profile is provided for those wishing to do the very minimal blood testing available to help minimize the risks associated with anesthesia

Our Basic General Health Screen ($65) consists of a Mini Health Screen with the addition of a Complete Blood Cell count (CBC) and  Electrolyte panel:

            Blood Chemistries: (as above)

Plus:      Complete Blood Cell count (CBC) evaluates levels of Red (anemia, hydration) and White blood cells (may indicate 

              existing inflammation and/or infection, globulins, evaluates immune system) and a platelet count (clotting function).

Plus:      Electrolytes (K+, Na+, Cl-) give further evaluation of endocrine and metabolic processes.

This is the profile that we recommend for all of our surgical patients.  It gives a basic overview of many of the processes and organs used specifically to process and eliminate the medications and anesthetics used for our procedures. 

Our Comprehensive Health Profile ($98) consists of the Basic General Health Screen  

   Blood Chemistries, the CBC, and Electrolytes (as above)

    Plus: an additional 6 chemistry values

           This profile is offered to add an expanded health profile for our patients.  This panel is recommended for older pets (greater than    5), for pets that have had illnesses in the recent past or for those having ongoing medical issues.  It is always for any of our    clients wishing for a more comprehensive blood evaluation for their pets, as this information is invaluable and can be used as a    baseline normal for your healthy pet’s permanent health records.
