How To Book

If an appointment is already scheduled and you would like to add an additional patient please advise and I will work to accommodate your request.

Note: We do not work with the general public. I work under the guidance of veterinarians. Only veterinary staff members can book an ultrasound.

This should be completed before our arrival in order to avoid delays. 

Please make sure the history is complete and includes the relevant information that the radiologist/cardiologist may need.. Please note that the history must be uner 500 characters, lab results under 500 characters.   Please do not print out the medical record or lab work in place of the requisition.  Please do not add lab results attatchments to the area designated to radiographs.

Note: We will only send the information included on the requisition. 

It can be difficult to give exact appointment times when running a mobile business, however I do respect everyone's time and I do my best to stay on schedule. Traffic, weather, "add on" cases, cancellations and difficult animals are several factors that can affect scheduling.

See Exams and Preparations for details.

Whenever possible, please have the animal shaved prior to my arrival.

Abdominal Ultrasounds: Please shave from the xyphoid process to the caudal abdomen with very wide margins extending laterally. Please shave to the skin.

Cardiac Ultrasounds: Please shave a square (3"x3") in the right and left medial axilla.  

Sedation is not required when performing an ultrasound, however, in many cases it does improve the images and ensures a complete exam. Please speak to the owners regarding sedation before the exam. Sedation will only be used if images are suboptimal due to motion and/or a tense abdomen.

At least one veterinary employee is required to be present during the ultrasound exam to monitor and physically restrain the patient. The ultrasound usually takes 30-60 minutes.
