Ultra Sound

Precise Insights with Advanced Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive way to see inside your pet’s body in real time—no surgery or radiation required. By using high-frequency sound waves, our veterinarians at Beachwood Animal Clinic can create detailed images of soft tissues and internal organs, helping diagnose, monitor, and manage a wide range of health conditions. This technology allows us to provide fast, accurate answers while keeping your pet relaxed and comfortable.

When Might My Pet Need an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is particularly useful for evaluating areas that X-rays cannot fully reveal. Common applications include:

• Abdominal organs, including the liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bladder, and intestines
• Heart assessments through echocardiography to detect murmurs or disease
• Pregnancy monitoring and evaluation of fetal development
• Detecting masses or tumors and distinguishing between benign and malignant growths
• Identifying fluid accumulation, infections, or cysts
• Guiding biopsies for precise tissue sampling

This detailed imaging helps our team identify health concerns earlier and develop tailored treatment plans.

What to Expect During an Ultrasound Exam

Ultrasound exams are quick, gentle, and painless. Your pet will lie comfortably on a padded surface, and a small area of fur may be shaved for optimal imaging. A water-based gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld probe is used to capture real-time images. Most pets remain calm and do not require sedation.
