One of the most effective tools we use to evaluate internal health concerns is abdominal ultrasound for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet is experiencing unexplained symptoms or needs a follow-up diagnostic exam, our experienced veterinary team is here to help.
What Is an Abdominal Ultrasound?
An abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. Unlike X-rays, which show bones and dense structures, ultrasound offers a detailed look at soft tissues such as the liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, spleen, and more.
When Should Your Pet Have an Abdominal Ultrasound?
If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms—don’t wait. Call us to schedule your pet’s abdominal ultrasound. Early diagnosis can make all the difference in your pets health and quality of life:
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Blood in urine or stool
- Loss of appetite or unexplained weight loss
- Trouble urinating
- Palpable abdominal masses
- Pregnancy monitoring
Why Your Pet Might Need an Abdominal Ultrasound
If your dog or cat is showing signs of illness—such as vomiting, weight loss, diarrhea, bloating, or changes in urination—our veterinarian may recommend an ultrasound to get a clearer view of what’s going on internally. Abdominal ultrasound can help diagnose or monitor:
- Kidney or liver disease
- Bladder stones or infections
- Abdominal tumors or masses
- Intestinal obstructions
- Fluid accumulation
- Abnormal organ size or structure
- Reproductive concerns or pregnancies
What to Expect During the Procedure
Ultrasound exams at Eastover Veterinary Hospital are safe, pain-free, and typically don’t require anesthesia. In most cases, a small area of your pet’s abdomen will be shaved for better image quality. Your pet will lie comfortably while our skilled veterinary professionals gently move the ultrasound probe over the belly area. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes.
We’ll review the ultrasound results with you and discuss the next steps for treatment or further diagnostics if needed.
