Illness Care FAQs
Should I withhold food before an illness exam?
Unless your pet is diabetic or a very young puppy/kitten, withholding food for 3-4 hours prior helps if bloodwork, sedation, or fasting X-rays are required.
What should I bring to the clinic?
Bring any medications your pet is currently receiving, photos of vomit/stool if relevant, and notes on food or treats given in the last 48 hours.
