Pet Ultrasounds—A Powerful Tool
Pet ultrasound has proven to be a powerful tool in veterinary medicine.
Pet ultrasonography is a type of veterinary diagnostic technique that uses high frequency sound (ultrasound) waves to produce a moving, real-time image of your pet. Ultrasonography is a completely non-invasive, painless way to diagnose and evaluate many common pet diseases and abnormalities in organ function.
The ultrasound is administered by holding a small probe gently against your pet’s skin. The probe sends out and collects painless ultrasound waves that are interpreted by a sensor and converted into a moving image. Ultrasound waves can generate excellent images of the abdominal cavity.
Veterinary ultrasounds are ideal for viewing images of:
- Liver
- Spleen
- Gallbladder
- Kidneys
- Tumors
- Monitoring pregnancy
- Heart
We also offer in-house ultrasound testing performed by our veterinary team for diagnosis and screening of minor health conditions such as:
- Pregnancy
- Tumors
- Bladder stones
