Common Questions for Visits
Frequently asked questions on pre-visit preparation, treatment, post-operative care, and cost discussions. The following content is for informational purposes only and does not replace a professional medical evaluation by a qualified physician.
Preparing for Your Visit and Referral
Online consultations are for initial assessment and document pre-screening to determine if a referral is needed and its priority. However, any diagnosis, treatment plan, or surgical decision must be based on in-person examination results.
Emergency cases do not require an appointment. Please call 010-6266 6696 immediately, and we will guide you to the hospital as soon as possible. Upon arrival, you will be prioritized at the emergency entrance, but please bring your previous medical records and test results for a quick assessment.
Tumors and Ablation Therapy
HIFU is suitable for local ablation of certain solid tumors, but suitability depends on tumor type, size, location, and the animal's overall condition. Not all tumors are candidates for HIFU; some may require surgery, chemotherapy, or other treatment approaches.
Ablation is typically performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation to keep the animal still and minimize pain during the procedure. The specific anesthetic protocol is determined by a veterinary anesthesiologist based on the animal's species, age, and health status.
After cryoablation, tumor cells gradually die off, but the mass does not disappear immediately. Post-procedure imaging follow-up is required to monitor tumor shrinkage, which typically takes weeks to months to become evident.
SUB and Postoperative Management
The SUB (subcutaneous ureteral bypass) can resolve ureteral obstruction but is not a permanent fix. Post-procedure, regular monitoring of renal function, urinalysis, and imaging is required to assess stent position and function. Some patients may need long-term management.
Please coordinate visitation in advance with the attending veterinarian. Visitation hours for ICU and post-operative patients are limited to minimize stress. We will provide regular updates on your pet's condition and treatment progress.
If the animal shows signs of lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty urinating, wound redness with discharge, or rapid breathing, contact your veterinary clinic immediately or visit the emergency room. These symptoms require close monitoring, especially after surgery.
Fees and Follow-up Collaboration
We can provide an estimated cost range after a preliminary check. However, an accurate quote requires a detailed examination, confirmed diagnosis, and agreed-upon treatment plan. We will fully discuss the cost breakdown with you before finalizing any plan.
Not necessarily. Complex surgeries and critical care must be completed at the hospital, but certain tests (e.g., CT, MRI) can be done here; you may then take the reports back to your original hospital for continued treatment. We will maintain communication with your original hospital to ensure seamless continuity of care.
Yes. We offer standalone imaging services. After the exam, you will receive complete DICOM images and a diagnostic report to bring back to your primary hospital for your doctor's review. Advance appointment is recommended.
