Important Notes
Out-patient ultrasonography is performed in the Imaging Section. For safety and confidentiality concerns, owners are not permitted in this area at this time.
Cornell Imaging will not sedate patients for this procedure.
Patients who are unable to lie still on their back or side for up to 40 minutes cannot be examined. If sedation is required and the referring veterinarian determines that it is safe, some patients may be sedated prior to the visit.
We will not examine aggressive dogs or fractious cats.
Please have your clients fast the patient 10 hours prior to the appointment. Water and medications are okay to give. If medications require food, please utilize a small amount of food.
We prefer the pet to have a full urinary bladder at the time of the appointment.
Although every attempt will be made to examine the patient at the scheduled time, unexpected delays and emergencies may arise, causing appointments to be delayed.
