It’s no secret that early injury and illness detection and intervention are key to ensuring our pets receive the care they need. When it comes to diagnosing and properly treating your pet's illness or injury, an ultrasound performed at an animal hospital is crucial. It's equally important to ensure that the veterinarian of your choice has the latest equipment on hand to provide the most accurate results possible. Fortunately, the experienced and trusted team here at Lincoln Animal Hospital in Cypress has the technology and knowledge needed to provide your pet with the care they deserve.
What are digital ultrasounds?
A pet ultrasound is much the same as the ultrasounds performed on humans that you're likely familiar with. It involves using a wand to create sound waves that will translate into an image on a computer monitor. By passing the wand over affected areas, animal hospital staff are able to see problems that may be otherwise hidden. This is especially useful when it comes to diagnosing issues such as foreign objects in the digestive tract and potential problems with internal organs. Pet ultrasounds are completely painless and do not cause any side effects, making them ideal for use on our beloved pets.
When is a pet ultrasound needed?
As previously mentioned, ultrasounds are incredibly useful when it comes to diagnosing and treating a pet's ailments. They are used for a number of things, including the diagnosis and treatment of broken bones, tumors, joint problems, and abnormalities within internal organs, such as the brain, lungs, heart, kidneys, bladder, and liver.
