Ultrasound

When it comes to cancer diagnosis, veterinary ultrasound is often used to detect the presence of tumors in a pet’s body. One of the benefits of ultrasound is that it is non-invasive, meaning it does not require any surgical incisions or anesthesia. This makes it a safe and relatively low-risk procedure for pets. In addition to diagnosing cancer, ultrasound can be used to stage the disease. This involves determining the extent of cancer’s spread within the body. Ultrasounds can help veterinarians identify whether cancer has spread or can be used to monitor the progression of the disease over time.

Another advantage of veterinary ultrasound is that it can be performed quickly and efficiently in our clinic. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete, and the results are available immediately. This allows our veterinary oncologists to quickly develop a treatment plan for pets with cancer and monitor their progress throughout treatment.
