At any veterinary clinic, each procedure will vary, ranging on the age of the pet and the procedure itself. Dr. Sartin recommends pre-anesthetic blood work prior to any surgical event to minimize the risks of surgery. Call Sartin Animal Care Clinic if your pet is facing a surgical procedure to ask our caring veterinarian of the risks involved of the particular procedure.
