Ultrasound

Veterinary Ultrasounds in Kingwood

An ultrasound exam is an important, non-invasive, diagnostic test that allows our veterinarians to look inside your pet’s body without having to perform surgery. In most cases, your pet does not need to be under anesthesia for the ultrasound exam.

How Does Ultrasound Work?

The ultrasound machine sends soundwaves into the body and then listens for the echoes to produce images of your pet’s internal organs.

Abdominal ultrasound is useful for examining the:

  • Liver
  • Spleen
  • Pancreas
  • Kidneys
  • Body for reproductive abnormalities

At Alpha Veterinary Services, we can examine the organs for location, size, shape, texture and blood supply. It can also show “masses” within the organs being examined. Our veterinarians will look at your pet’s medical history, current medical concern and the ultrasound exam to make a diagnosis and treatment plan for your pet. At times, additional testing may be recommended.

If you believe your pet is suffering from an abdominal condition, schedule a diagnostic exam today by calling (304) 329-1586.
