Ultrasounds

Ultrasound is a technique that provides vets with a non-invasive way of scanning your pet’s body system without surgery. An ultrasound machine is used for the diagnosis and treatment of pets by using high frequency sound waves. This is very similar to an ultrasound that is used to monitor a human pregnancy where a probe is placed against the body. From this sound waves are converted into an image that represents the insides of your pet, and this is displayed on a screen allowing your vets to gain a better understanding of what is going on in your pet’s body.

Common uses for an ultrasound include investigation of the liver, kidneys, intestines, gall bladder, bladder, uterus, and abdominal cavity.

Ultrasound is extremely important for accurate diagnosis, ruling out causes of certain diseases and doing so in a non-surgical method which is simpler and better for your pet. We have skilled professionals who are able to use this technology to find the best solutions to your pet’s condition.

An Ultrasound is a non-invasive and safe diagnostic tool we use to look at your pets internal organs in real time. To ensure we get the clearest images possible the area being examined will need to be shaved and a gel substance will be applied to the skin. In some cases, your pet may need to be sedated or even placed under a light general anaesthetic to complete the ultrasound.

If you have further questions or concerns, consult your veterinarian and they will assist you.
