Full testing of animals with suspected deafness, ear or neurological disease present
Testing of animals suspected to actually be deaf is usually much more complex. More data gathering and analysis is needed to reach a diagnosis and can take much longer - typically more than an hour. It is also necessary to write a report to be sent to your veterinary surgeon.
These animals too should ideally be starved for 4 - 8 hours prior to the test to avoid vomiting if sedation is necessary. These animals usually require sedation unless they are very compliant.
Charges:
Dermatology/neurology case - consultation, BAER testing and report £410.98 including VAT.
Sedation if necessary is extra.
Payment is required at the time of the test.
