Please call Dr. Babineaux at 925 915-0697 or email at jbabineaux@innervisionsvet.com to schedule an ultrasound appointment

Please have pet dropped off one hour before scheduled appointment

Please ask clients to withhold food for 8-12 hours before ultrasound (water is fine)

If possible, please shave ventral abdomen prior to ultrasound

Most pets can have an ultrasound performed without sedation, but particularly painful or frightened animals may require sedation for improved scanning

Fine needle aspirates of large organs such as liver or spleen can frequently be obtained without sedation, but smaller or highly vascular organs typically require a light plane of sedation for sampling accuracy - having sedation orders approved by the client and prepared in advanced helps with efficiency
