Pet Ultrasound
Non-invasive sonograms for pets
We offer veterinary ultrasounds for pets. Much like ultrasound 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.
Diagnostic Equipment
Ultrasound, also known as a sonogram, is a non-invasive tool used to aid diagnosis of patients. Ultrasound can aid in the diagnosis of abdominal tumors, urinary stones, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease and much more.
If your pet is showing signs of illness or injury, call us at (386) 447-7381 to schedule an appointment. An ultrasound may be able to assist in diagnosing the problem.
