Hello. While I am not sure what your procedure will be, but I am familaiar with a nuclear stress test where Thallium is injected. We generally do not worry too much with an adult pet mainly because they just do not have the lifespan that we do. It would not hurt not to hold Ruby or let her sit in your lap for 24 hours, but this is really not a major concern. She can stay with you. Thanks for using PetCoach.
