Fasting prior to blood work

[Daphne and Aida]

Hi there!
I have a very quick question, since I haven't been able to find anything on the board (it must be somewhere!) and the vet hasn't come back to me yet.

Tomorrow we'll have a blood work done for Aida, checking tT4 levels (she was started 1 month ago with methimazole) and renal values.

The appointment is scheduled for 5:30 pm, she can have food until when?

Many many thanks!

This is typically a question for the vet. Non diabetics they usually like to fast, in case the blood is lipemic. I never fasted Neko but got late in the cycle tests so she'd been at least 4 hours without food. But it may depend what tests they want to do, some call for fasting.

Ok thanks Wendy!
I'll call them in the morning then.
