Pre-Procedure Instruction Sheet

Potential Risks and Complications:

Fasting: Do not feed your pet for at least 10 hours before the appointment. Water is allowed.
Medications: Administer all regular medications unless advised otherwise. If a very small (~1/10 of your pet’s normal meal size) volume of food is needed with a certain medication, that is okay.
Comfort Items: You may bring a favorite toy or blanket to help keep your pet calm. This needs to be clean. An item may be refused at staff’s discretion (reasons may include hygiene, infection risk, behavioral or other reasons).
Arrival Time: Please arrive 60 minutes early to complete any necessary/pending paperwork. Arrival time 15 mins after the time of your appointment will likely be treated as a no-show.
Contact Information: Ensure we have your current phone number in case we need to reach you during the procedure

NOTE:

Pet Owners are not allowed with the patient during the scanning/procedure.
Routine/non-urgent results will not be discussed with the pet owner by the radiologist or the radiology staff. These results shall be directly transmitted to my family/referring veterinarian.
In case of an unexpected diagnosis constituting an emergency, your pet may need emergency care.
