For pets’ ultrasound services in Pensacola, Florida, Safe Harbor Animal Hospital has got you covered. Ultrasound is known for its use common during pregnancy. It’s a painless and non-invasive imaging method that uses sound waves to detect diseases and abnormalities in internal, abdominal organs, as well as the thyroid and parathyroid.
Ultrasound evaluations are useful in examining abdominal organs such as:
Thyroid and parathyroid
Prostate grand
Uterus
Bladder
Kidneys
Intestines
Stomach
Spleen
Liver
Ultrasounds tests recognize changes in the shape, position, internal structure, density, tissue and size of organs. The exam can identify abnormal lymph nodes, fluid within the abdominal cavity as well as most abdominal masses or tumors. In most cases, our veterinarian will recommend an ultrasound exam as the next step after X-rays, physical exams, blood work, and other primary diagnostic tests.
Is An Ultrasound Painful for Pets?
No! This procedure is non-harmful, non-invasive, and painless.
Will my Pet Need Anesthesia or Sedation for an Ultrasound?
Neither anesthesia or sedation is required for most pets. If, however, your animal companion is hesitant to lie on their backs, some sedation may be helpful to make the procedure smooth and effective.
