Pet Ultrasound in Orlando, FL
At Powers Drive Animal Hospital, we offer pet ultrasound in Orlando, FL, a safe and non-invasive way to assess internal organs and detect health conditions. Our experienced veterinary team provides accurate diagnoses, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.
What Is Pet Ultrasound?
Pet ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed, real-time images of a pet’s internal organs and tissues. Unlike X-rays, which primarily show bones, ultrasound helps veterinarians examine soft tissues such as the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, and intestines. It is also a completely non-invasive imaging method, allowing our veterinary team to assess your pet’s health with clarity and precision without causing discomfort or distress.
Ultrasound is valuable for identifying medical conditions, detecting tumors or fluid buildup, monitoring pregnancies, and assessing organ function. Since ultrasound does not involve radiation, it is a safe and painless procedure for pets. In most cases, little to no sedation is required, making it a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
When Is Pet Ultrasound Recommended?
Your veterinarian may suggest an ultrasound if your pet shows symptoms of illness or needs further evaluation beyond a physical exam. Common reasons for pet ultrasound include:
- Identifying the cause of vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss
- Examining the liver, kidneys, and other abdominal organs
- Evaluating heart function and detecting cardiac conditions
- Monitoring pregnancies and fetal development
- Detecting tumors, cysts, or abnormal growths
- Assessing fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen
What to Expect During a Pet Ultrasound
A pet ultrasound is a stress-free procedure that typically requires little to no sedation. During the exam:
- Your pet will be placed in a comfortable position
- A small area of fur may be shaved to ensure clear imaging
- A water-based gel is applied to improve contact between the ultrasound probe and the skin
- The veterinarian will gently move the probe over the area being examined, capturing detailed images
