I would absolutely ask your vet more questions about this. What type of blood test is he doing?

Paris had a fasting blood test and was to fast for 12 hours...but she could still have water. She too spent about 2 weeks vomitting bile and any food she ate. They were testing her for Portosystemic shunting.

20 hours is way way way to long.
