Pet Diagnostics

Sometimes, we may require an ultrasound exam for your pet. An ultrasound allows veterinarians to study and observe your pet’s vital organs, such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, and heart to ultimately determine if they are functioning properly. By emitting high-frequency soundwaves, our ultrasound equipment can create a moving, real-time image of the internal organs. 

Ultrasound is highly beneficial in cases where we suspect heart disease, pregnancy, cancer, gallbladder disease, gastrointestinal problems and liver disease. Like X-ray, this procedure is painless, drug-free and non-invasive, and sedation should not be necessary. Ultrasounds can save pet’s lives due to their accuracy, which is why we use advanced veterinary ultrasound equipment at our veterinary clinic.

When your pet's eyes are checked during an exam, any negative findings may warrant another look via our tonometry service. Using a tonopen, our veterinarians can measure and calculate the pressure of the fluid within the eye. This is very important for any pet with a suspected diseases of the eye, such as glaucoma or cataracts.

If your pet has red, irritated eyes or has suffered a recent head or eye trauma, please bring them in for additional eye screening.
