Understanding Ultrasonography at Erin Mills Pet Hospital
Ultrasonography, also known as ultrasound or sonography, is a noninvasive and pain-free procedure that uses sound waves to examine a pet’s internal organs and structures. At Erin Mills Pet Hospital, we use this advanced imaging technique to evaluate a variety of areas, including the heart, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, bladder, and more. This method helps detect abnormalities such as fluid, cysts, tumors, abscesses, and can confirm or monitor pregnancy with precision.
Procedure and Benefits at Erin Mills Pet Hospital
During an ultrasound at Erin Mills Pet Hospital, a gel is applied to the pet’s skin, and a transducer is gently moved across the area of interest. This allows for clear images to be captured through sound waves. Ultrasound does not involve radiation and is safe, with minimal to no side effects. Most pets do not require sedation or anesthesia for the procedure, though the area may need to be shaved for optimal results. If you have questions about how ultrasonography works or what to expect, we are here to assist you.
