Ultrasonography is a painless procedure that is becoming more readily available within vet practices. Many of the internal organs can be scanned non-invasively to aid in the diagnose of disease. This includes heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, gastrointestinal tracts, pancreas, and reproductive organs.
Areas of hair may be clipped for the procedure. Sedation or general anaesthesia may be required in some cases to keep our patients still for a thorough examination.
In addition to our in-house ultrasonography, we also have mobile specialist ultrasonographers who come to our hospital to assess our more complicated cases.
