Ultrasound

Clear Answers Through Advanced Imaging

A veterinary ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows our veterinarians to look inside your pet’s body in real time — no surgery or radiation required. Using high-frequency sound waves, we can create detailed images of soft tissues and internal organs to help diagnose, monitor, and manage a wide variety of health conditions.

Our team in New Smyrna Beach, FL, uses this safe and effective tool to provide fast, accurate answers about your pet’s health — all while keeping them relaxed and comfortable.

Why Might My Pet Need an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound imaging helps us evaluate internal structures that X-rays can’t fully show. It’s commonly used to assess:

• Abdominal organs (liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, bladder, intestines)
• Heart health (via echocardiography to detect murmurs or heart disease)
• Pregnancy monitoring and fetal development
• Masses or tumors, helping distinguish benign from malignant growths
• Fluid buildup, infections, or cysts
• Guided biopsies for accurate tissue sampling

By capturing these internal details, we can diagnose conditions earlier and tailor treatments with precision.

What Should I Expect During a Pet Ultrasound?

Ultrasound exams are quick, gentle, and completely painless. Your pet will lie comfortably on a padded surface, and a small patch of fur may be shaved for clearer imaging. A water-based gel is applied to the skin, and a handheld probe is moved over the area to create images. Most pets don’t need sedation and stay calm throughout the process.
