Ultrasounds

Clearer Insights, Better Care

At Shawnee Animal Hospital, we use advanced ultrasound technology to provide a clear picture of your pet’s health. This safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool helps us detect and monitor a wide range of conditions, ensuring we can deliver precise, effective care tailored to your pet’s needs.

What is Veterinary Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your pet’s internal organs and tissues. Unlike X-rays, which show bones and dense structures, ultrasound excels at visualizing soft tissues like the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and even blood flow. It’s completely painless, and in most cases, pets don’t require sedation, making it an stress-free experience for you and your furry friend.

When Might Your Pet Need an Ultrasound?

We often recommend ultrasounds for pets experiencing symptoms like:

• Abdominal swelling or discomfort
• Vomiting or diarrhea that doesn’t resolve
• Unexplained weight loss
• Changes in urination or thirst
• Lumps or masses that need evaluation

It’s also invaluable for monitoring pregnancy, guiding minimally invasive biopsies, and managing chronic conditions such as kidney disease or heart issues.
