Ultrasound

We perform interactive ultrasounds for dogs and cats, on premises at Manchaca Village Veterinary Care. This provides us with the real-time assistance of veterinary ultrasonographers in capturing the best images for diagnosing conditions. It also allows for rapid turn-around for interpretation. You may be asking why is animal imaging needed, well ultrasound technology provides information that can be invaluable in diagnosing a pet’s condition. It is a painless and non-invasive way to examine a pet’s internal cavity, including the heart and abdominal organs. Pregnancy exams are also performed using this technology.

WELLNESS ULTRASOUND SCANS are the popular choice for owners of senior pets, which we use to identify internal abnormalities before they become destructive or unmanageable. Early detection is key to longer life and lower healthcare costs. After the age of 6, your pet has reached middle age–a time in their lives when internal abnormalities are more likely to develop. Also, knowing that some breeds are susceptible to certain conditions, a preventative scan is time well spent.

This proactive procedure scans the entire abdominal cavity, which generates an image that can ease your mind or reduce the chances of advanced complications.

Facts about the wellness scan:

• Fast, non-invasive and thorough
• Provides more detail than standard x-rays
• Early detection of abnormalities
• Preventative peace of mind
• Add years to your pet’s life
• Save on long-term costs
