Ultrasound

Safe, Painless Imaging for Clearer Answers

Ultrasound is a gentle, non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses sound waves — not radiation — to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. It’s one of the most effective ways to detect early signs of illness, monitor ongoing conditions, or confirm a diagnosis without discomfort or downtime.

At our DeLand, FL clinic, ultrasound helps us provide faster, more accurate care when your pet needs it most.

Why Would My Pet Need an Ultrasound?

Your veterinarian may recommend an ultrasound to examine soft tissue structures that aren’t visible on X-rays. It’s commonly used to assess:

• Abdominal health (including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen)
• Heart function and cardiac health (echocardiograms)
• Pregnancy and fetal development
• Masses or tumors to determine type and location
• Fluid buildup, infections, or organ inflammation
• Guided biopsies for targeted sampling

This technology allows us to see what’s happening beneath the surface — often catching health concerns before they progress.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Ultrasound exams are painless and typically require no anesthesia. Your pet will rest comfortably while a small patch of fur is shaved and a clear gel is applied to the skin. The handheld ultrasound probe then glides over the area to capture detailed images. Most pets find the process relaxing, and you’ll be right by their side.
