I took in a starving stray a few months back. She's very sweet, but she went into heat over the weekend. I was waiting until after the holidays to spay her. The last time I had a kitty spayed was years ago, at that time my vet did a whole blood workup series on her before her surgery. She was not sick at the time, just brought in to be spayed. My question is, Is the blood work really necessary before the surgery? It ended up costing me almost 400.00 for my first kitty, and I really cant afford that amount, but I need to get this new kitty spayed. Anybody have an opinion about my vet doing this blood work? Is that normal?
Thanks in advance!!
