Jones became a patient at JVC last July as a new puppy and has since continued on to come to JVC for all of his medical care needs.

Now that he is finally old enough, Jones came in for his pre neuter appointment. This appointment is primarily for his blood to be taken and sent out to the lab to ensure he is a safe candidate for anesthesia.

Jones’ lab results were back the next day and his neuter surgery was scheduled for just a handful of days after that.

His surgery went as well as one would hope and he recovered smoothly from anesthesia. Once fully awake from the earlier sedation Jones’ folks were there to pick him up at the end of the day.
