My 21mo old son will have surgery in 4 days to place tubes in his ears by his ent doctor. instructions say no bloodthiners including multivitamins before surgery. i forgot to ask, he drinks pediasure, is this considered as a multivitamin supplement?

Good question: No: pediasure is a nutritional drink fortified with vitamins, doesn't contain blood thinners, all the best

Not a problem: The docs don't want any aspirin like product (we don't use them in kids) within 24 hrs of surgery that would interfere with clotting. They also don't want the kid to eat or drink anything in the hours before they are placed under anesthesia. That could fill their tummy with something they throw up and inhale into their lungs as they are put to sleep.Just clarify how long the kid can't drink/eat.
