At Barstow Animal Hospital, we parther with high-quality ultrasonography specialists to offer services for both dogs and cats to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Ultrasonography, a non-invasive imaging technique, uses sound waves to create detailed images of the internal organs and tissues of your pet. This advanced technology is particularly valuable in assessing the health of soft tissues, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs, allowing us to detect conditions like tumors, infections, and abnormalities that might not be visible through X-rays or physical exams.
Our skilled veterinarian after receiving results from our collaborative ultrasonography specialists will go over the information obtained regarding your beloved pet. Whether your pet is experiencing unexplained pain, vomiting, or changes in behavior, an ultrasound can help us identify the root cause. This service is especially useful for diagnosing conditions like kidney disease, bladder stones, and cardiac issues, providing a clearer picture of your pet's health to guide treatment decisions. We try to educate the client, and explain the current situation or medical condition of the pet examination results so that an educated choice can be made for pursuit of treatment.
Ultrasonography is also a valuable tool in monitoring pregnancies and the development of embryos in female dogs and cats. If your pet is pregnant, our we have collaborative specialty pet facilities that will come to our office and use ultrasound to assess the number of puppies or kittens and check for any potential complications. It is also a non-invasive method to monitor the growth and health of the developing fetuses, helping to ensure a safe pregnancy and delivery.
At Barstow Animal Hospital, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of your pet throughout the ultrasound procedure. The process is painless, and sedation is rarely required, making it safe and stress-free for most animals. Whether you are seeking routine diagnostic services or specialized care, ultrasonography is an essential part of our comprehensive approach to veterinary medicine, ensuring your pet receives accurate and timely care.
