An ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that enables an in-depth view of your pet’s internal organs. Ultrasound is a highly useful tool that detects alterations in abdominal organs, assists in the recognition of cysts and tumors, and helps in evaluating heart conditions (referred to as echocardiogram).
Anesthesia or sedation is usually not necessary for the procedure. With the ability to obtain real time information, diagnoses can often be determined immediately.
