When your cat has an exam that requires anesthesia, it is a good idea to have a pre-anesthesia exam to determine the cat's overall health, and to ensure the health of the heart, kidneys, and liver, so they will not be damaged or affected by the anesthesia. The doctor will do a blood test to check the kidneys and liver.

This exam is especially important for cats with health problems, or a cat who has never had anesthesia before. If the doctor does not administer the correct amount of anesthesia, it can have devastating affects on the cat, so this pre-exam is extremely important.

Vet pet insurance should cover the cost of this exam. If you're in doubt, always check with your vet pet insurance company before you have any procedure. Today, anesthesia is not as dangerous as it once was, but you never know how your cat will react to the various anesthetics used today, so make sure not to skip this vital exam.
