Pet Ultrasound
When our veterinarians need to view your pet’s soft tissues for suspected health problems or pregnancy, they use ultrasound diagnostics. At Hickory Grove Animal Hospital, we offer advanced pet ultrasound imaging in Charlotte, NC, which helps us diagnose and monitor health conditions in dogs and cats. Our ultrasound services are available exclusively to our current clients to ensure consistent, high-quality care.
What Is an Ultrasound?
A pet ultrasound is a noninvasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the internal structures of your pet’s body. This method allows our veterinarians to visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow without surgery or radiation exposure.
Ultrasound is a versatile diagnostic tool used to evaluate a wide range of conditions in pets, such as:
Issues with Abdominal Organs
Tumors and Cysts
Bladder Stones
Urinary Blockages
Pregnancy
How Ultrasound
Benefits Your Pet
Ultrasound diagnostics offer numerous benefits for your pet’s health and well-being. The noninvasive nature of an ultrasound procedure means that it is safe and painless, with no need for surgery or sedation in most cases. The real-time images produced by ultrasound provide our veterinarians with valuable information about the internal state of your pet’s body, aiding in accurate and timely diagnosis. Additionally, pet ultrasound allows for the monitoring of ongoing conditions and the effectiveness of treatments, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care. Ultrasound imaging can also be used to monitor pet pregnancies so that you can prepare for the birthing process and amount of puppies or kittens in the litter.
