Preparation for your cat’s blood test varies depending on why and where your cat is getting its blood tested. If your cat is scheduled for a routine blood test at the vet’s, keep it well hydrated and don’t feed it for about six hours prior to the blood test. If your cat is getting a blood test to diagnose a specific illness, your cat will probably need to fast for a longer period and probably won’t be able to take its regular medication. In all cases, do your best to keep your cat calm, and consult with your vet to determine the best way to prepare your cat for a blood test. | Preparation for your cat’s blood test varies depending on why and where your cat is getting its blood tested.
