Pet Ultrasound

A non-invasive way to diagnose sick & injured pets.

Much like ultrasounds for people, pet ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique used to diagnose sick and injured animals.

How does ultrasound work?

When the sound waves penetrate the body, they “bounce” back. The ultrasound machine measures the time it takes for a sound wave to bounce back and creates an image.

What conditions can be diagnosed by ultrasound?

Some injuries and conditions that can be identified via ultrasound include:

Bladder and kidney stones
Gastrointestinal obstructions
Pregnancy
Cysts and tumors
Heart conditions

Ultrasound also allows us to safely collect biopsy and fluid samples without having to perform invasive surgeries.
