Pre-surgical blood work is also run before most surgeries, and this must be reviewed before the procedure. Q: If my pet is young and healthy, why does my veterinarian need pre-surgical blood work before a surgical procedure? This is why we recommend and require pre-surgical blood work before surgical procedures. The blood work also assesses organ function, and many organ dysfunctions have been caught on pre-surgical blood work in otherwise healthy animals. So, in your pet's best interest and safety, they should all have pre-surgical blood work before any anesthetic event.
