  • Please give your patient a dose of Cerenia to be administered 2-3 hours prior to their visit.
  • Additional sedation is used at the time of the ultrasound procedure in order to obtain good images, and it is highly recommended that recent bloodwork has been performed prior to the procedure to allow us to accurately plan an appropriate protocol for each pet.
  • No food for 12 hours prior to the ultrasound, water is encouraged. If a full bladder is required for the appointment, please discourage urination for 1.5 hours prior to the visit.
  • The patient will be shaved for the procedure.
