Thread Name: Which side of the chest to scan Heart
Subject: Which side of the chest to scan Heart
Please can you help me, I have to shave my dogs chble youest ready for a scan of his heart to check how it is working now. I was told by my vet what size and where to do this, I felt sure that he said shave the right side, but I have just realised that our hearts lie to the left. The reason I am doing this myself is because my dog had a heart attack about six weeks ago, he is on medication from the vet, but gets very distressed when other people handle him. We believed that it would help him if I prepared him first.
We have to go for the scan tomorrow morning and I cannot contact my vet before then.
I am sorry to trouble you and would really appreciate your help.
Thank you Kate
