Questions about
this service
Does my pet need to be sedated or given a general anaesthetic for a scan?
Most pets do not need sedation or a general anaesthetic for an ultrasound. However, if your pet is very anxious, in pain, or unable to stay still, we may recommend sedation to help make the experience more comfortable and stress-free for them.
Does my cat/dog need to be shaved?
In most cases, we do need to shave a small area of fur to ensure the ultrasound probe has direct contact with the skin. This improves the image quality significantly. If you have concerns about shaving, feel free to discuss them with the vet on the day of the scan.
Is a scan painful?
Ultrasound scans are generally not painful. We shave the area, apply a cold gel to the skin, and gently move the probe to capture images. If we are scanning a sensitive or painful area, your pet may experience some discomfort, but we always work to keep them as comfortable as possible.
How long does a scan take?
The length of the scan can vary depending on the area being examined, how easily we can identify the issue, and how cooperative your pet is. Most scans take between 5 to 45 minutes.
