The flexibility of mobile specialty practice enables me to work both with you and your primary care veterinarian. I will contact you after a diagnostic plan has been made and a procedure is scheduled. I am happy to discuss any questions you may have regarding your pets status, the procedure, and post-procedural care and expectations. Following the procedure, I will call you again to let you know the histopathology or cytological findings once reported and to review the treatment plan or diagnostic plan if indicated. I provide a clinical report for your veterinary records and discharge instructions and you are welcome to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

For most cases a 12-hour period of fasting (no food, water always acceptable) is best for the a good study, however, in specific cases with certain contains e.g diabetes mellitus please ask your primary care veterinarian.
