Pet Ultrasonography in Corona, CA

Accurate imaging techniques play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating health issues in pets. A key tool in our diagnostic lineup is ultrasound, a non-invasive technique that provides  a thorough assessment of your pet’s health.

What Is Pet Ultrasonography?

Pet ultrasonography, commonly known as an ultrasound, utilizes sound waves to create images of the internal structures of your pet’s body. This procedure is painless and does not involve radiation, making it a safe option for pets of all ages. During the ultrasound, a small handheld device called a transducer is placed on the skin, which emits sound waves that bounce off internal organs, creating real-time images that can be viewed on a monitor.

Benefits of Pet Ultrasonography

The benefits of pet ultrasonography are numerous. First and foremost, it allows for a detailed examination of soft tissues and organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder. This imaging technique can identify abnormalities such as tumors, cysts, and fluid buildup. Additionally, ultrasonography can help assess the condition of internal organs, making it an important tool for diagnosing conditions that may not be visible through standard X-rays.

When Is Pet Ultrasonography Necessary?

Pet ultrasonography may be recommended in various situations. If your pet exhibits symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unexplained weight loss, an ultrasound can help determine the underlying cause. Additionally, this imaging technique is useful for monitoring pre-existing conditions, such as heart disease or kidney problems, allowing our veterinarian Dr. Farrar to assess changes over time.

Routine check-ups may also include ultrasonography, especially in older pets or those with risk factors for specific health issues. Early detection of potential problems can lead to more effective treatment options, enhancing your pet’s quality of life.
