INFORMATION FOR REFERRING VETERINARIANS
SEDATION PROTOCOLS

Light sedation such as butorphanol is often administered to keep patients calm and to provide pain relief during ultrasounds. Each patient will be assessed for their individual needs at the time of study. Fractious or highly stressed patients may receive further sedation to accommodate scanning and limit stress. Cardiac safe protocols are used such as midazolam/alfaxan for echos, only if patient requires. If you are declining sedation options as deemed necessary at the time of study, the study may not go forward or limited images may be taken.
Please advise if there are any contraindications to known sedation or previous reactions:

YesNo
Please provide further details:
Please advise client to give any oral anti-anxiety meds as directed prior to their visit.
