What is an ultrasound?
Ultrasound is used for a variety of purposes. It uses sound waves to produce images from inside of the body so that a professional can provide a diagnosis and treatment for pets. It is completely safe and effective to be used for addressing pet health concerns.
What are ultrasounds used for?
- Determining pregnancy of a pet
- Providing a litter count of a pregnant pet
- Screen for heart conditions
- Check for problems with organs such as the bladder, kidney, liver, and spleen
How accurate are ultrasounds for dogs and cats?
Ultrasounds are very accurate to find out what is going on when problems occur. Sometimes the issue at hand is not physically visible and the doctor needs to find a way to check the inner body. Ultrasounds are used, as well as digital x-rays, to achieve this. Ultrasounds are incredibly accurate which is why they are the go-to device for many veterinarians when trying to determine what is wrong with a pet or to screen for problems during routine appointments. Our team will let pet parents know when an ultrasound may be needed, and may provide this or digital x-rays depending on the concerns at the time.
