Ultrasound

A non-invasive way to diagnose sick & injured pets.

We offer veterinary ultrasounds for pets. Much like ultrasounds for people, pet ultrasounds are a safe, non-invasive imaging technique used to diagnose sick and injured animals.

How does ultrasound work?

When the sound waves penetrate the body, they “bounce” back. The ultrasound machine measures the time it takes for a sound wave to bounce back and creates an image.

What conditions can be diagnosed by ultrasound?

Some injuries and conditions that can be identified via ultrasound include:

Bladder and kidney stones
Gastrointestinal obstructions
Pregnancy
Cysts and tumors
Heart conditions

Ultrasound also allow us to safely collect biopsy and fluid samples without having to perform invasive surgeries.

If your pet is showing signs of illness or injury, call us at (419) 529-5052 to schedule an appointment. An ultrasound may be able to assist in diagnosing the problem.
