How to Refer a Patient
- Fill out the online Referral A Patient form HERE.
- Please email us all pertinent records. Include at least the last year of patient records with doctor notes, pertinent radiographs (JPEGS +/- DICOMS) and complete lab results.
- Pre-Visit Pharmaceuticals are REQUIRED for all patients unless there is a specific contraindication. We are happy to provide veterinary professionals with dosing recommendations but we cannot prescribe medications without a current patient exam.
Recommended doses:
Cats: 100-200 mg Gabapentin both the night before the appointment and again 2 hours prior to the appointment time. (100 mg is generally sufficient for the calmer cats, but we find our spicier cats do better with 200 mg or 300 mg.)
Dogs: 20-25 mg/kg Gabapentin and 7.5 -12mg/kg Trazodone (the higher end of the dose is necessary for those with high fear or anxiety). These should be given both the night before the appointment and again 2 hours before the appointment time. - Consider obtaining a Doppler blood pressure reading prior to echocardiography appointments.
