Pet Ultrasound in Austin, TX
Highland’s Pet Medical Clinic offers limited ultrasound services to assist in diagnosing various health conditions. Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive and painless way to examine internal organs, providing valuable insights into your pet’s health. Our ultrasound machine allows us to perform basic ultrasounds, although we may need to refer out to a specialist depending on complexity.
How Pet Ultrasound Benefits Your Pet
Ultrasound technology uses sound waves to create real-time images of internal structures. It allows veterinarians to assess the health of vital organs, detect abnormalities, and guide treatment decisions.
Common Uses for Pet Ultrasound
- Evaluating the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bladder
- Detecting tumors, cysts, or other growths
- Assessing heart conditions (echocardiography)
- Confirming pregnancy and monitoring fetal development
- Identifying causes of unexplained weight loss, vomiting, or changes in urination
What to Expect During a Pet Ultrasound
The procedure is typically stress-free for pets. Most ultrasounds do not require sedation, but anxious pets may benefit from mild sedation to keep them comfortable. A small area of fur is shaved to allow proper contact with the ultrasound probe. The veterinarian then moves the probe over the area of interest, capturing detailed images in real time.
When a Specialist Referral is Needed
Highland’s Pet Medical Clinic performs general ultrasounds; however, complex cases may require referral to a specialist. If advanced imaging or further diagnostics are needed, we will guide you through the next steps to ensure your pet receives appropriate care.
