If your vet recommends that your pet needs an detailed ultrasound (either of a specific organ, entire abdomen or heart), we can enlist the services of Vet Practice Support. They are a team of highly experienced and skilled practitioners that travel to practices to provide their services ‘in-house’. We work closely with them to help aid diagnoses and treatment for your pet.
Ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure which can play a crucial role in diagnosing various medical and surgical conditions. It can also be helpful in ruling out certain problems. Your pet will be an inpatient with us for a few hours and our vets can give you most results when you come to collect them. VPS always follow up their visits with a detailed report, usually within 24 hours, that can help us to guide you in further decision making for your pet.
If, at the time of scanning, your pet needs further tests (blood, urine, biopsies, endoscopy etc.) or imaging (endoscopy, radiographs) or even surgery, then these can be done at the same time, or organised for another day to suit.
We can’t thank VPS enough for their assistance with critical and complicated patients over the last few years.
