 Request Appointment Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way for our veterinarians to see what’s happening inside your pet in real time. With our new in-house ultrasound machine, we can get clear answers sooner — often the same day — without waiting for a traveling specialist or referral.

Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed, real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues. It’s especially useful for areas that don’t show up well on X-rays — like the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and heart. Because it’s gentle and painless, most pets tolerate it well.

When We Recommend an Abdominal Ultrasound

We may suggest an ultrasound if your pet has symptoms such as:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea that isn’t improving
  • Weight loss or loss of appetite
  • Abdominal pain or swelling
  • Suspected masses, cysts, or tumors
  • Urinary issues or possible bladder stones
  • Changes seen on bloodwork or X-rays that need a closer look

Ultrasound helps us move from “we think” to “we know,” so we can choose the right next step.

Echocardiograms (Cardiac Ultrasound)

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound focused specifically on the heart. It lets us evaluate the heart’s chambers, valves, muscle thickness, and overall function in real time. Echocardiograms are one of the best tools for understanding heart murmurs, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart conditions, fluid around the heart, and other cardiac concerns.

Why this matters here:
Because we can now perform echocardiograms in-house, we’re able to investigate heart concerns sooner — which helps us plan safer anesthesia, start treatment earlier, and monitor progression more closely over time.

Optional reassurance:
Most pets do not need anesthesia for an echocardiogram. We keep them comfortable and still, and only use light sedation if a pet is very anxious.
