Advanced Diagnostic Imaging - Abdominal Ultrasound and Basic Echocardiography

Abdominal Ultrasound

Our comprehensive abdominal scans allow detailed assessment of the major organs and structures, including:

• Liver, gallbladder & biliary system
• Spleen
• Kidneys & adrenal glands
• Stomach, intestines & pancreas
• Bladder, prostate/uterus/ovaries

• Abdominal pain, swelling or distension
• Urinary problems, including blood in the urine
• Suspected organ enlargement or masses
• Fluid accumulation within the abdomen
• Pre‑surgical planning

Basic Echocardiography (Cardiac Ultrasound)

We also provide focused echocardiography to evaluate your pet’s heart in real time. This includes assessment of:

• Heart chamber size and wall thickness
• Valve structure and function
• Blood flow patterns using Doppler technology
• Pericardial effusion and other structural abnormalities

Basic cardiac ultrasound is particularly helpful for:

• Investigating heart murmurs
• Coughing, exercise intolerance or breathing difficulties
• Pre‑anaesthetic cardiac screening (especially in senior or at‑risk breeds)
• Monitoring known heart conditions

Having these advanced diagnostics available right here in our clinic means:

• Faster results
• Less stress for your pet
• Earlier treatment decisions
• No need for referral in many cases
• A smoother, more coordinated care experience

Our experienced veterinary and diagnostic team will guide you through every step, ensuring you understand the findings and treatment options.
