Comprehensive Testing for a Smooth & Risk-Free Procedure
Pre-Anesthesia Bloodwork: Ensuring a Safe Surgery
Before any surgical or dental procedure, it’s essential to assess your pet’s overall health to ensure they can safely undergo anesthesia. At Boca Palms Animal Hospital, we perform pre-anesthesia bloodwork to check for underlying conditions, evaluate organ function, and tailor anesthesia protocols to your pet’s unique needs. This crucial step helps us reduce risks, improve recovery, and provide the safest possible care.
Even if your pet appears healthy, internal issues can go undetected without testing. By performing a full blood panel, we can identify hidden concerns like kidney or liver disease, infection, or anemia, allowing us to make informed decisions and adjust treatment plans accordingly.

Why Pre-Anesthesia Testing is Essential
Anesthesia is generally safe, but every pet responds differently, which is why evaluating their internal health beforehand is critical. Bloodwork allows us to adjust medications, fluid therapy, and anesthesia doses to ensure a smooth procedure and quick recovery.
Pre-anesthesia testing is especially important for senior pets, those with pre-existing conditions, or pets undergoing major surgery. Our goal is to prioritize safety, minimize risks, and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in expert hands.
