Your Hospital Visit
What you should bring with you on your hospital visit.
Most consultations are on referral from your family veterinarian. Your family veterinarian should have sent a referral form, and all of the pertinent diagnostics and test results, prior to your visit. You may be asked to hand deliver radiographs and CDs containing information. At ProFormance Canine we will see patients that have not previously been seen by a family veterinarian.
