A veterinary technologist in Texas is preparing a dog for an ovariohysterectomy. Which pre-anesthetic finding would require immediate communication with the veterinarian before induction?
Correct Answer:
Packed cell volume (PCV) of 18%
Explanation:
A PCV of 18% represents significant anemia and substantially increases anesthetic risk due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity. Elective surgery should generally be postponed until the cause is investigated or corrected. The other findings are within normal limits for many healthy adult dogs.
