Hi everyone!!!
Tomorrow morning I am going to drop Peanut off to have his teeth cleaned and his puppy teeth pulled. I chose to have the pre-op blood work done too. My question is that tonight starting at 6pm I am not allowed to let him have food or water. When he got neutered the cut off time was 9pm the night before. Why is this one at 6pm?
I am wondering if this is too long for Peanut to go without food or water? Would it be okay to give him an ice cube to lick, or some NutriCal? I'm becoming very nervous about the fact that he will not be eating or drinking for about 24 hours. Please anyone with any info, let me know. Thanks in advance!!!! I'm really nervous now.
PS The vet never mentioned that I should have had his puppy teeth pulled while he was getting neutered, and his neuter was long before I found this site...I guess I am paying for being uninformed now. Other than that I really love this vet.
