Lickety Split Animal Ultrasound Scanning and Microchipping.

Please message for an appointment. Having read the information below, please message for an appointment. Ultrasound Pregnancy detection scans from £38 (Mileage charges apply for mobile) for dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets. Ultrasound scanning in relaxed stress-free environment either in your home or at my clinic. I am Certified and trained by Vet Image Solutions for pregnancy detection, qualified

Defra approved microchip implanter (prices for microchipping on request). I am fully insured for both procedures, experienced KC Assured Breeder, Exhibitor and Judge. I use a safe non - invasive, veterinary grade CE certified high- resolution equipment for scanning and can email cine loops and images of positive scans direct to your email for you to keep. I use a water-based gel for scanning for clearer imaging, if heavily coated more gel will be applied to avoid clipping. The advantages of scanning for pregnancy are:
Rule out phantom pregnancies. Adjust diet, food intake for expectant mum. Prepare for forthcoming litter. Checking viability/ heartbeats. Scanning to see all puppies have been born (post whelp scan). I can scan as early as 28 days from last mating but prefer to scan between 30 to 35 days post mate. No ultrasound technician can guarantee the number of puppies from an ultrasound scan and can only confirm pregnancy on the day with an estimate of how many gestation sacs seen. Developing foetus still have a long way to go before full term and reabsorption of gestation sacs can still occur up to roughly 45 days. As a scanning technician I cannot diagnose any medical condition that may be affecting your bitch/queen nor can identify any foetal malformation in scans carried out later in pregnancy. A veterinarian is the only person that can diagnose such conditions. It is now the law for puppies to be microchipped by 8 weeks of age and the breeder must be the first registered owners, from June 2024 it is also a legal requirement for kittens (by 20 weeks) and adults cats to now be microchipped. I prefer to chip kittens from 11 weeks onward. I use the finest implanter needle for microchipping with 10 mm chip and use Animal Tracker & Pettrac data base which is approved by Defra. Petlog is also available on request.
