Ultrasounds at Health and Harmony Animal Hospital are done by a mobile service and not performed by our veterinarians. Abdominal ultrasonography is a non-invasive technique used to image organs within the abdomen and/or chest. The area to be imaged must be shaved in order to provide adequate imaging. Irritation may occur to the skin as a consequence. Hair regrowth generally takes multiple weeks to occur, but can be more prolonged in certain pets.

Fine needle aspiration is a procedure involving placement of a needle, using the guidance of an ultrasound, into an organ or mass. A tissue sample is drawn into the needle and sent in for diagnostic testing. This procedure is often the first step towards diagnosing abnormalities identified on ultrasound examination. Fine needle aspiration is generally a safe procedure, but with any procedure there are always inherent risks. If the veterinarian deems a fine needle aspirate necessary*

I authorize fine needle aspirates recommended by the veterinarian and do not wish to be contacted prior to the aspirate. I understand this will incur additional costs.

I wish to be contacted prior to the fine needle aspirate being performed. I understand this may delay diagnostic treatment and may require additional ultrasounds in the near future.

In the event of an unforeseen emergency, if your pet were to go into cardiac or respiratory arrest, please indicate what life-saving measures you would like the doctors and medical staff to take by selecting ONE choice below*

Please attempt resuscitation by performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Life-saving measures may include, but are not limited to, external chest compressions, securing an airway, giving oxygen, placing an IV catheter, and administering any necessary drugs. I understand that there are additional costs associated with life-saving measures and that resuscitation is not appropriate for every patient that has gone into cardiac arrest.

Please DO NOT perform life-saving measures.
