Ultrasound
Sometimes an x-ray may not give us a clear enough view of the inside of your pet’s body; we may want to view the problem from a different perspective to obtain a diagnosis. In this case we can call into our hospital a traveling ultrasonographer.
Many pets tolerate the ultrasound procedure quite well; occasionally a more nervous pet may require a light sedation. If we see something on the ultrasound that is unusual we may choose to take a sample of tissue; to do this a general anesthetic is required. The ultrasound is performed and interpreted by a licensed veterinarian who has a special interest and is experienced in this technology. We will have the results of the ultrasound within minutes of completing the test.

FUNFACT:
Fleas are tiny (1 – 2 mm long) biting, wingless, insects with powerful hind legs for jumping on your pet. They survive by biting and feeding of the blood. If left untreated, just 10 adult fleas can multiply to over 250 000 fleas in only 30 days.
