Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center

Outpatient Ultrasound Referral

This form must be completed by the primary care veterinarian and then we will contact the client to schedule their outpatient ultrasound appointment with us. The health and safety of the patient is our primary concern. If we have any questions, a member of our team will be in touch.

This is for stable patients that can wait for an appointment. Unstable patients should admit through our Emergency department.

We expect to sedate all outpatients with butorphanol to facilitate quality imaging. Due to this, we will ask the client to sign a CPR/DNR authorization.

An abdominal ultrasound is a diagnostic test. As such, the findings rarely stand on their own and must be interpreted in light of the entire clinical picture. For this reason, the client will not be provided with an ultrasound report. We will contact you with results within an hour after the ultrasound.
