For the Veterinarian
1. Veterinary staff can call or email VVC to set up an appointment day and time and fill out a procedure request form. Due to COVID-19, VVC is limiting traveling for ultrasounds. Contact us to find the closest outpatient facility near you. Forms can be filled out on-line and emailed to VVC, or can be printed out and made available the day of the appointment.
2. Pets should have food withheld for 12 hours and water for a few hours prior to an ultrasound exam, unless there is medical necessity (i.e. a diabetic patient or a patient in renal failure should not have water restriction).
3. A recent platelet count is required prior to sampling procedures.
4. Ultrasound and Internal medicine consultation reports are generated within 24 hours and can be discussed with the veterinarian the day of the assessment. Results are communicated with the referring veterinarian directly.
