So my Reggie is 11 years old. Relatively good health, just overweight (but hes lost a perfect amount since I've owned him). Last time I was at the vet I asked about blood panels and they gave me some prices and information. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the tests..
Chemistry Panel + Complete blood count: $79
Chemistry Panel + CBC + Thyroid level: $98
Urinalysis: ~$30
I've read about the different tests but I want to see what others on here do for their cats. Should I get everything? Is everything necessary? I certainly will spend the money for any health reasons for my cat but I've only owned Reggie about a year now and just want to check and see if the vet is trying to make a couple on bucks on me or if all the tests are necessary.
Thanks!
