      Hi there 🙂

      Vets do test animals blood. We find a vein in their front leg and use a needle to got some blood out. Then we put it into a pot and send it to a laboratory that measures what the animals have got in their blood, for example how much sugar they have in there. It’s a very useful way to get a lot of information about how poorly an animal is and to see if they medicines you are giving the animal are working.

      Claire 🙂
