FurWell at Barkingham offers professional veterinary ultrasound services to help diagnose and monitor your pet's health with precision and care.
Veterinary ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet's internal organs and tissues. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound can visualize soft tissues, fluid accumulation, organ structure, and blood flow in detail. It is especially useful for evaluating the abdomen, heart, bladder, liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs. Ultrasound is safe, painless, and requires no radiation, making it a preferred diagnostic tool for pets of all ages.
Our team ensures your pet is comfortable throughout the ultrasound process.
For abdominal ultrasounds, your pet may need to fast for several hours beforehand. Our team will advise you on any preparation needed when you schedule.
Your pet will lie still while our veterinarian moves a handheld probe over the area being examined. Most pets tolerate the procedure well and do not require sedation.
Our veterinarian reviews the images in real time and discusses findings with you during or immediately after the exam. If further diagnostics are needed, we will outline next steps clearly.
Ultrasound is one of the most valuable tools in veterinary medicine for detecting problems that cannot be seen from the outside.
Ultrasound can identify masses, cysts, fluid buildup, and organ abnormalities before they become serious, giving your pet the best chance at a positive outcome.
Unlike surgical exploration, ultrasound provides detailed internal images without any incisions, reducing stress and recovery time for your pet.
Accurate imaging helps our veterinarians develop the most effective treatment plan tailored to your pet's specific condition.
Veterinary ultrasound can evaluate abdominal organs including the liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and intestines. It is also used to assess the heart, identify masses or cysts, detect fluid accumulation, and monitor pregnancy. Our team uses ultrasound to provide accurate, fast diagnostic information.
Most ultrasound exams take 20-45 minutes depending on the area being evaluated and your pet's cooperation. Our team works efficiently to keep the process comfortable and stress-free for your pet.
For abdominal ultrasounds, fasting for 8-12 hours is typically recommended for best image clarity. For other areas, no preparation may be needed. Our team will provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment at (864) 458-8500.
