Scheduling:
This not a walk-in clinic. Appointment times are scheduled.
CAT SHOW:
If you are the TICA cat show that is close by, please let me know and your cats will be scheduled first thing. First appt starts at 8am and the show starts at 10. This means with two drs scanning, we can get about 20 cats in before the show. Each appt takes about 7 minutes. The show is 6 minutes away. If there’s a lot of interest, I can discuss with the drs moving the start time a bit earlier.
Who:
Any cat that has NOT been previously diagnosed with a heart issue.
Cost:
$250.00 (cash or check, to be clear this means no Venmo, no Zellepay, no cashapp, no debit or credit cards).
Hunt Valley, MD clinic is within reasonable driving distance of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Washington DC, Virginia and surrounding areas areas.
If you have not ever scanned your cats, it may be something to start consider doing regardless of breed. Catching the disease early can prolong a cat’s life with proper medical treatment. It affects all breeds of cats.
NOTE:
These HCM discount clinics are for cats that have NOT been previously diagnosed with heart issues. Also excluded are cats that have been vet referred to a cardiologist due to suspected issues. Cats with abnormal hearts require further testing, need more time than the clinic allows; and cost more because of additional services and expertise. These cats require a regular appointment.
The Cardiologists: There are two board certified cardiologists who do these clinics plus several vet techs. I have been going to CVCA regularly since 2004 and they are wonderful.
What to Expect:
The Exam: This is a full cardiac exam with physical and ultrasound testing. It takes about 7 minutes per cat. Cardiologists weigh and examine your cat first. After weight and physical exam, a trained vet tech will put the cat on his/her side in the table. Then ultrasound gel is used for the wand and it is placed on cat’s chest. Cats are not shaved.
