Dog ECG

[Donkeymad]

My elderly Irish Setter has been booked in for an ECG later this week. Does anybody have a rough idea how much this is likely to cost please?

Thanks.

 

[Donkeymad]

Nobody? Never mind, I'll find out soon enough!!

What is an ECG? Whats the matter with your dog?

 

[Donkeymad]

Electro CardioGraph. His heart is running very very fast and he has a cough and can't run around without having difficulty breathing. His lungs have been checked carefully now and they are fine (which is more than I can say for my bank account!!) I should get the results next Monday.

should be about £30 or so. they dont take long to do.

 

[Donkeymad]

Oh thank you. They said about twenty minutes and the results will be sent down the telepone line to a specialist.

ok, it will probably be more if they're not going to read it themselves. would expect a fee of around £60 for a specialist to read it.

All done and it cost £50. Should be able to get the results late tomorrow.
