Imaging and diagnostics

Digital radiography and ultrasound on site, reported the same day.

What is involved

Imaging and diagnostics

Lameness, vomiting, coughing, urinary signs and suspected foreign bodies

Radiography and ultrasound carried out at the practice, so a diagnosis does not need a referral or a second day. Images are reviewed by our own vets and, where a specialist opinion adds something, sent for external reporting — which usually comes back the same day.

What the appointment includes

  • Digital radiography with immediate images
  • Abdominal and cardiac ultrasound
  • Sedation where it is needed for a diagnostic image
  • Same-day interpretation, with specialist reporting where useful
  • The images gone through with you
Appointment length
30–60 minutes
Number of visits
One, repeated where monitoring requires
Afterwards
Sedation is sometimes needed; the animal is groggy for a few hours afterwards.

How it works

How an appointment works

  1. 01

    Register

    A few minutes at reception or online. We request your animal’s history from your previous practice so it is here before you need it.

  2. 02

    Ring us

    Tell us what you have noticed and how long for. It decides whether this is a routine appointment or an animal we need to see now.

  3. 03

    Examination

    A full examination and a discussion of what we think. Nothing further happens without an estimate and your agreement.

  4. 04

    Diagnostics and treatment

    Bloods, imaging and treatment on site. If anything changes the estimate, we ring you before we go ahead.

  5. 05

    Going home

    Written instructions, pain relief where it is needed, and a booked check rather than a suggestion to ring if you are worried.

Questions we are asked

Ring the out-of-hours number on the contact page. It is answered every night of the year by a vet with access to your animal’s records. Ring before you set off so they are ready for you.

Appointments
