Outpatient CTFor referring veterinarians

Once the referral request is complete, we will contact the owner directly to schedule an appointment. We use the information in the referral to plan and schedule appointments.

All patients must be clinically stable outpatients, suitable to undergo general anaesthesia and receive IV contrast. Changes in patient status after admission may necessitate transfer into our hospital for medical care.

If you would like us to perform additional diagnostics like sample collection or ongoing medical work up, please refer the case to us via our normal referral process.
