I offer an ultrasound pregnancy detection scanning service for dogs, cats and goats. I am professionally trained, registered with VIS and certified to scan. I am based at TR13 0
MY SCANNER
I use a new veterinary grade, CE certified mobile scanning machine that has a crystal clear, super large screen and high resolution images. It is touch screen design meaning there's no keyboard for germs to hid
e. It has a cine loop memory so I can freeze and scroll back to the best images. This also enables me to save images and videos of your scan and send them to you via email or facebook for you to keep. SCANS
Scanning is non-invasive and there's no need for sedation or anesthetic. A water-based, clear gel is applied to the lower tummy area to obtain a clearer image. Scans are performed standing or lying down, whichever your girl is happiest with. WHEN TO SCAN
Minimum of 28 days from the date of last mating but nearer 35 days is better. If a bitch/queen is scanned too early, you may need a second scan to confirm pregnancy if the first scan is inconclusive. If an estimation of fetal numbers is given, there is no guarantee offered. Puppies/kittens can be re-absorbed, can hide behind each other or may be carried high up in the ribs. Also, due to viewing a section of the abdomen at one time, rather than the whole area, there's a chance that pups/kits could be counted more than once and you can get reflections. Cornwall Pet Scan services are offered as an independent opinion and does not replace veterinary advice. Message me via this page or call me on 07976 746160 (Sara)
