Ultrasound

Fowlerville Pet Ultrasound Services

Our ultrasound is a state-of-the-art unit that allows us to get an in-depth view of your pet’s organs. An ultrasound is a non-invasive, painless, imaging procedure that allows us to examine specific internal organs of the abdomen and chest.

Seeing under the skin–that’s what’s possible with ultrasound technology. Ultrasound is a powerful diagnostic tool that creates a real-time internal image of an animal’s body, giving us important information about the circulatory, skeletal and gastrointestinal systems.

When used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools like ultrasounds can help identify disease, blockages, skeletal fractures, soft tissue damage and other internal injuries. Because ultrasounds don’t require radiation, they’re also used to monitor pregnancies and fetal health in breeding pets.

A pet ultrasound works by broadcasting high-frequency sound waves that reflect off your pet’s internal structures. A small probe held against the skin collects the returning signals to create an image of the internal body, most commonly used to examine abdominal organs like the stomach, kidneys, liver, spleen and gallbladder. Completely painless and non-invasive, ultrasounds usually require some sedation because the patient must remain completely still.

Fowlerville Veterinary Clinic employs advanced imaging technologies, guaranteeing the highest quality of care for our patients.
