pet ultrasound services

Our staff at Urban PetRx is committed to evaluating and treating your pet as soon as possible with our ultrasound services.

Pet Ultrasound Services

Just as many humans can benefit from receiving an ultrasound, our dogs and cats can, too. Ultrasounds utilize sound waves that are transmitted through the body to create an image. This is generally a non-invasive procedure unless tissue samples are taken. Ultrasound services are an ideal way to look at your pet’s internal organs, helping to diagnose and treat your pet as soon as the issue arises.

Our vet in Bridgeport may recommend ultrasound services for the following reasons:

Detecting unusual fluid, including internal bleeding
Check for intestinal blockages (such as foreign body obstructions)
Pinpointing whether or not organs have been displaced
Screen for cancerous masses

Biopsy help
Check for stones in the bladder, kidneys, and gallbladder
Look for infections
Determining the health of internal organs

Advantages of Ultrasounds in Veterinary Medicine

Ultrasound technology allows our team to view your pet internally in real time, and it’s used to diagnose various medical conditions. It can be repeated as many times as necessary throughout the diagnosis and treatment process without causing additional harm to your pet. Plus, having photos from the ultrasounds are a great way to track treatment progress and whether or not the treatment plan needs to be altered, ultimately resulting in a longer, happier and healthier life for your pet.

No Harm to Your Pet

The ultrasound itself will not cause any harm or discomfort to your pet. In the case that your pet gets anxious in situations like these, we can provide them with a sedative during the ultrasound. The entire process is relatively fast (30-60 minutes), and pets, both old and young, can benefit from receiving them.
