Ultrasound

At The Pet Doctor, we offer referral to board-certified veterinary specialists when indicated. Ultrasounds are a non-invasive diagnostic tool that can be used to help diagnose problems with your pet. Ultrasounds are performed by a veterinary radiologist and can be performed at our hospital at your convenience or we can refer you to a specialty hospital if necessary.
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce visual images of organs, tissue and blood flow in the body to help with diagnosis. An ultrasound probe transmits the sound waves to an area of the body. Information from the sound waves are used to create an image of the area that can be evaluated.
Ultrasounds are used to evaluate all abdominal organs. An ultrasound is also used to measure heart anatomy and function.
