Pet Ultrasound
Expert Pet Ultrasound Services at Acadiana West Animal Clinic
Pet Ultrasound
Pet ultrasound, also known as veterinary ultrasound, is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique used to evaluate your pet’s internal organs, tissues, and structures. At Acadiana West Animal Clinic, we utilize advanced ultrasound technology to deliver accurate and timely health assessments for your furry family members.
What is Pet Ultrasound?
Pet ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of your pet’s internal systems. These sound waves bounce off organs and tissues, and the echoes are converted into visual images. This safe, painless procedure provides valuable insights into your pet’s health without the need for surgery or sedation in most cases.
What Conditions Can Veterinary Ultrasound Diagnose?
Pet ultrasound is ideal for assessing vital organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder, heart, and blood vessels. Common uses of veterinary ultrasound include:
- Pregnancy confirmation and monitoring: Detect pregnancy as early as 25 days and track fetal health.
- Identifying abnormalities: Detect tumors, cysts, stones, and other issues in internal organs.
- Heart evaluations: Determine the cause of heart murmurs and assess cardiac health.
- Guided sampling procedures: Safely collect samples from abdominal masses or obtain sterile urine samples.
- Global health checks: Monitor geriatric pets for potential diseases or pathologies.
How Does the Procedure Work?
During a pet ultrasound, a handheld transducer is placed on the pet’s skin after shaving the examination area for clarity. The transducer is moved to capture images from different angles, ensuring a thorough assessment. Your pet remains comfortable and stress-free throughout this non-invasive process.
