Ultrasound

Veterinaire Pet Care offers comprehensive pet ultrasound services through our ultrasonography consults and advanced diagnostic imaging. Pet ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that enables our veterinarians to obtain an in-depth view of your pet’s internal organs without the need for exploratory surgery.

Benefits of Pet Ultrasound

Pet ultrasound technology allows for detailed evaluation of internal organs and provides critical diagnostic information for a variety of conditions. Our veterinary ultrasound services are particularly valuable for:

  • Evaluating heart conditions (echocardiogram)
  • Detecting alterations in abdominal organs
  • Identifying cysts and tumors
  • Diagnosing pregnancy and monitoring fetal development
  • Assessing kidney, liver, spleen, and bladder health
  • Guiding minimally invasive tissue sampling

At Veterinaire Pet Care, we collaborate with trained ultrasonographers who visit our practice regularly with state-of-the-art equipment to perform pet ultrasound examinations. This ensures your pet receives the highest quality diagnostic imaging available.

Comfortable, Stress-Free Experience

One significant advantage of pet ultrasound is that anesthesia or sedation is typically not necessary when performing an ultrasound on the heart or abdomen. The procedure is painless and non-invasive, creating minimal stress for your pet. With the ability to obtain real-time information, results can often be determined immediately, allowing for faster diagnosis and treatment planning.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Imaging Services

Our advanced pet ultrasound services include:

  • Abdominal ultrasonography with abdominocentesis and cystocentesis capabilities
  • Thoracic ultrasonography with thoracocentesis when needed
  • Doppler ultrasound studies for blood flow evaluation
  • Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration for cell sampling
  • Ultrasound-guided biopsy for tissue diagnosis
