This diagnostic tool helps us provide accurate, compassionate care for dogs and cats in Flower Mound and beyond.
What Is a Pet Ultrasound?
Ultrasound is a painless imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time pictures of your pet’s internal organs. It’s especially useful for evaluating soft tissues like the liver, kidneys, and bladder.
Our team uses ultrasound with care and compassion, helping families gain important insights into their pets’ health without unnecessary stress.
How a Pet Ultrasound Works
During an ultrasound:
- A handheld probe is moved gently over the pet’s body
- Sound waves create live images of internal structures
- Sedation is rarely needed unless a pet is very anxious
- Results are available immediately for review
- Ultrasound is often used alongside X-rays to provide a more complete diagnostic picture.
Why Ultrasound Is Important
Many conditions—such as tumors, bladder stones, or internal bleeding—can only be accurately diagnosed with imaging. Ultrasound allows us to detect these problems early and recommend the best treatment plan.
Benefits of Pet Ultrasounds:
- Non-invasive and pain-free
- Provides real-time internal imaging
- Assists in diagnosing complex conditions
- Complements other diagnostic tools for greater accuracy
