Ultrasound technology lets us examine your pet’s abdominal organs, including the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, gallbladder, adrenal glands, pancreas, and intestinal tract, in great detail. This imaging method clearly displays these organs’ size, shape, position, and internal structure, helping our veterinarians identify abnormalities such as masses, cysts, stones, inflammation, or fluid accumulations that might indicate disease. For pets with symptoms like vomiting, changes in appetite, unexplained weight loss, or abnormal laboratory values, ultrasound often provides crucial diagnostic information.
Cardiac ultrasound lets us examine the heart’s chambers, valves, and surrounding structures. This application is particularly valuable for pets showing signs of heart disease, such as coughing, exercise intolerance, or abnormal heart sounds detected during physical examination. By assessing cardiac function in real-time, our team can diagnose conditions like valve abnormalities, heart muscle diseases, or congenital defects that might otherwise go undetected until more advanced stages.
