Pet Ultrasound and Scans

Pet Ultrasound Imaging
An ultrasound scan is a medical test that uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from the inside of your pet’s body. An ultrasound allows your veterinarian to see problems within organs, vessels, and tissues without needing to go to surgery. Ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure and can be done without sedation most of the time.
