Pet Ultrasound Exams
Our ultrasound technology at Sheridan Pet Care provides a non-invasive way to assess your pet’s internal health. This advanced imaging tool allows for detailed evaluation of organs, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
The Importance of Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound exams play a crucial role in veterinary diagnostics by offering real-time imaging of internal organs and soft tissues. This non-invasive tool helps detect abnormalities that may not be visible through physical exams alone.
Key uses of ultrasound imaging in our clinic include:
- Examining the structure and function of organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bladder
- Aiding in diagnosing conditions like tumors, cysts, fluid buildup, and pregnancy
- Guiding precise procedures, including sterile urine collection and biopsies
Ultrasound exams allow for a more thorough assessment, leading to earlier diagnosis and timely treatment.
Diagnostic Insights for Better Care
Ultrasound technology provides valuable insights, allowing for a deeper understanding of your pet’s health. At Sheridan Pet Care, ultrasound exams can help detect:
- Abdominal Issues: Ultrasound can identify abnormalities in the digestive system, kidneys, liver, and more.
- Heart Health Concerns: The test can assess heart structure and function for early detection of cardiac issues.
- Bladder and Urinary Tract Conditions: We regularly use ultrasound to detect stones, infections, and obstructions.
- Pregnancy Monitoring: Ultrasound exams help to confirm pregnancy and monitor fetal development.
Early detection through ultrasound allows for proactive and targeted treatment, improving health outcomes for your pet.
When to Consider an Ultrasound Exam
A veterinarian may recommend an ultrasound if your pet is experiencing symptoms such as:
- Unexplained weight loss or appetite changes
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Abnormal lab results requiring further investigation
- Difficulty urinating or suspected bladder issues
Ultrasound exams are safe, painless, and highly effective in providing clarity on your pet’s health. If your pet needs an ultrasound or further diagnostic evaluation, contact us today.
