Q: How do I refer a patient for ultrasound?
A: Fill out an Ultrasound Request Form for the patient. Include the owner information. Fill in the pertinent history section of the form with recent issues, diagnostics, and conditions to rule out.

Radiographs that pertain to the immediate condition should be shared via Vetology if possible, on a disc, or by email.
