Abdominal ultrasound helps us to fully examine the liver, gallbladder,
spleen, pancreas, areas of the stomach, the small intestines, kidneys,
adrenal glands the reproductive organs and urinary bladder. It also shows us the
vasculature including the aorta, postcava and the hepatic and renal arteries and
veins. We then add this data from your pet either as a still digital picture or
as a video loop to their permanent "paperless" medical records.
We provide digital ultrasound with "state of the art" color
Doppler and computerized telemedicine. This noninvasive technique uses sound
waves to produce a still picture or video stream of the inside of the patients
body. This allows our doctors to see the structure of the patient's
internal organs.
First, our experienced, caring
staff cradles your pet in a soft foam "V" and clips a small area of fur to give
us a "window". We then apply a warmed gel that allows the probe to transmit the
sound through the skin. This safe painless diagnostic procedure is performed in
a few minutes, generally without anesthesia, sedation, or tranquilization.
