Pet Ultrasounds

Why Do Veterinarians Recommend Ultrasounds?

An ultrasound is an extremely important tool that can be used by a Veterinarian for 3 main reasons:

1. Diagnosing an existing issue
2. Screening for potential problems
3. Determining pregnancy 

The main issues that can be identified with an ultrasound exam include:

• Cancer
• Masses
• Bladder stones
• Kidney stones

Benefits of Ultrasound Technology

• It is a non-invasive diagnostic test, so anesthesia is NOT required.
• It is painless for your pet, so you do not have to worry about causing them harm.
• It is a quick test that usually takes only 15-30 minutes.
• It can uncover “hidden” or untreated issues like masses, cysts, nodules or abscesses that may not be diagnosable through other tests such as x-rays.
• A Veterinarian can make immediate findings, diagnose issues in real time and provide prompt solutions.
