Pet Ultrasound in Austin, TX
Pet Ultrasound in Austin, TX
Highland’s Pet Medical Clinic offers limited ultrasound services to examine internal organs and identify potential health concerns. We perform basic ultrasounds but refer pregnancy ultrasounds and echocardiograms to a specialized service when needed.
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
- 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 but does not offer pregnancy ultrasounds or echocardiograms in-house. We work with a specialized service that can provide these procedures when medically indicated.
