Out Patient Ultrasound
High-quality imaging for stable patients
We offer a Feline Outpatient Ultrasound service, providing high-quality ultrasound examinations in a cat-friendly environment with specialist advice for ongoing case management.
This service is ideal for stable patients and recheck examinations for conditions such as liver or kidney disease, mass evaluation, foreign body assessment and recurrent urinary tract infections.
Outpatient ultrasound is not available for echocardiography. Unstable patients should be scheduled through the appropriate feline medicine, surgery or emergency service.
For outpatient cases, the diagnostic imaging clinician will communicate directly with the referring veterinary clinic, not the cat owner.
About the service
Sedation can be administered at CSS and should be discussed with owners by the referring vet before the outpatient ultrasound. A signed consent form, including consent for sedation, will be requested from owners/staff before the service.
If a biopsy, fine needle aspiration or surgery is needed, this will be communicated to the referring vet, who can then discuss options with the owner. The sample can be sent back with the patient to the referring vet for submission, or the patient can be transferred to the relevant CSS service for ongoing management.
We will attempt to contact the referring veterinarian by phone after the ultrasound and provide a complete written report within two hours.
If the cat arrives in an unstable condition or requires diagnostics before the imaging procedure, the Emergency Service will evaluate the patient first, which will incur additional fees. We will inform the referring veterinarian as soon as possible.
Booking & additional information
For bookings, please fill out the form below with any history, blood work, radiographs, or supporting information as soon as possible, or send these details with the owner.
Cats should be fasted for at least 4 hours before the exam. Do not restrict water.
We will strive to complete exams on time. However, emergency cases or delays may result in the exam occurring later in the day. Most cases take about one hour.
Clients or staff are welcome to drop off the cat for the day.
Please inform the owner that we will shave their cat. While we aim to minimise the shaved area, the size may vary depending on the region being examined and the specific condition.
Charges will be billed directly to the client unless other arrangements have been made.
