Ultrasound is a non-invasive, non-painful method for diagnosing and evaluating your pet. Fasting or withholding of food and water is not necessary. It can be performed without sedation or anesthesia while your pet is awake. Preparation of the area includes shaving of their fur. Ultrasound is an effective tool that is very useful to study the heart and major blood vessels as well as other internal organs such as the liver, spleen, and urinary bladder. Ultrasound can also be used during a pet's pregnancy.

Our doctor will provide a report to your veterinarian following the appointment. Because your primary veterinarian knows your pet's history and current condition, he/she will be better able to report the ultrasound findings and manage your pet's care.

Ultrasound diagnostics are available at Green Acres Animal  Hospital  Monday through Friday by appointment. Please call 694-0122 for information or to schedule an appointment.
