ULTRASOUND

We have the equipment and the experience to offer ultrasonic diagnostic services to our clients. Not only do we use the ultrasound to detect pregnancy (starting at 20 days pregnancy) we use the ultrasound equipment to “look internally” at soft tissue structures in the abdomen as well as heart problems.

Ultrasound diagnostic imaging gives us the capability to look “inside” the liver, spleen, kidney, lymph nodes, intestine, uterus, bladder, heart and any form of abnormal swelling (tumours, abscesses, lumps) found inside the animal.

Most animals can be examined while they are awake so that the procedure is “non invasive” and not life threatening. But areas to be ultrasounded do need to be clipped of hair.
