Ultrasound Diagnostics for Cats at All Creatures Animal Hospital
Innovations in human medicine often improve the way we care for our pets, and ultrasound technology is now a vital tool in feline veterinary care. At All Creatures Animal Hospital in Granbury, TX, we use cat ultrasounds to detect illness, monitor pregnancies, and investigate signs of internal issues, offering non-invasive insights into your cat’s health.
How Ultrasound Helps Diagnose Cat Health Issues
Ultrasound imaging works by sending sound waves into the body, which bounce off internal structures and form images on a screen. This allows us to see what's going on inside your cat without needing exploratory surgery. It’s a safe and effective tool that helps us detect health conditions early and start treatment quickly.
Common Reasons for Cat Ultrasounds
Cat ultrasounds are useful for monitoring pregnancy, counting kittens, and checking for fetal development. They also help us diagnose blockages from ingested objects, identify joint damage, evaluate organ health (like heart, kidney, or liver changes), and locate stones in the bladder or kidneys. We also use ultrasounds to help diagnose and monitor cancer in cats.
What to Expect During a Cat Ultrasound
Ultrasound exams are typically quick and painless. Most cats don’t need sedation. Your cat will rest on a table, and the area being examined may be shaved for better contact. Our vet will gently move a hand-held probe over the area to capture images. After the ultrasound, your cat can go right back to their normal routine.
