Ultrasound
Ultrasound is used to assess abdominal organs and will often reveal problems not seen on a radiograph. Liver or splenic tumours for instance are readily visible with ultrasound but not radiographs. Some foreign bodies for instance will not show on a radiograph but we can see them with the aid of ultrasound.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound can be particularly useful in the emergency patient to look for bleeding into the abdomen.
Xrays and Ultrasound are generally performed under a light sedation. We will usually admit your pet to hospital for the day and discuss our findings in the afternoon.
