My greyhound is having a dental under GA next week. At her last one 18 months ago the vet asked if I wanted a blood test done.....can't quite remember what it was for, possibly kidney function, diabetes type of thing?
Anyway we didn't have it done as it was another £40 on top of an already huge bill. Vet said if the dog was any older she'd have recommended it more. Dog obviously is older now - she'll be 8 next month.
Should I get it done or is it more of a money making thing for the vet? Dog seems ok apart from bad teeth and a known heart murmer which doesn't slow her down/require meds.
