What?

My favorite one.
I can't think of the name of it.
I think The two authors had the same first name but spelled different and they wrote three books.
It's in one of those books where they talk about names.

Yes, many different kinds of blood tests. Heartworm tests are blood tests but they’re very fast and easy.
CBC’s are pretty standard but I’ve never been to a clinic that did them routinely unless you asked. I’m sure there are some that do though.
Chemistry panels are done to “take a look under the hood,” for example kidney and liver function before putting an animal through anesthesia.
.. and more depending on what you’re looking for in the blood.

Yes, if you told your vet that Luna is indoor then there is no reason that they would ask about heartworm tests or prevention. Heartworms are transferred by mosquitos and indoor pets are not usually screened.

I fixed mine.. I think. I thought BYC switched mine and Dog’s accounts for a second lol.

Thank you!! This is very informative. Hypothetically, if I was trying to figure out the litter box/rug issue, which test would I need? All of them? Or maybe it depends?

I will try all the litter box suggestions first though.

And ahh okay that makes sense.

I think I am going to take her and have her screened cause tbh she’s been going out lately my dad lets her out. I wish he wouldn’t but she does seem happier. Idk. But I should probably have her on some sort of prevention. Didn’t really think of it at the time cause we were still trying to keep her in, it wasn’t regular, so didn’t think of it. But also I’m kinda nervous to tell vets she sometimes goes out cause sometimes they get all weird about it. But it’s probably better for her to be on medicine or kept strictly indoors. But I think that’s impossible with my dad around

Oh!! I was thinking of your murder stories and had no idea about names or authors.

I'm not sure if it was the Freakonomics book or one of the other books written by those guys but they talked about or made fun of how people named their children or something. Now I got to find the right book.
