Thanks,

Okay, then he is NPO.  Regardless, after the blood is taken, just ask if he
can be fed.  My guess is that it will be fine.

Steve,

To answer your question, I was told not to feed Motley before the test.

Shantel,
First, does he have to be NPO, or in other words, without food before the
blood draw?  If not, feed him on his regular schedule, and if so, he should
be able to eat right afterwards.  The blood draw will not hurt, as the CBC
is basically a complete blood panel.  All should be fine.

Hello all,

 

Tomorrow morning, Motley is going to have his routine CBC and blood
chemistry test done. 

 

How soon after the test will I be able to feed him? Will he be in pain from
the blood being drawn?

 

I apologize if this has been covered, but this first-timer just wants to
make sure it goes well for Motley. 

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Chantel and Motley aka the Motley crew!
