Southern Hills Animal Hospital offers pet parents access to some of the latest diagnostic tools available in veterinary medicine. The use of ultrasound in diagnosing disease and injuries in animals is becoming more prevalent in today’s veterinary medicine practice.
Ultrasound is an extremely useful non-invasive diagnostic instrument that produces clear, easy to read images that are more detailed than an x-ray. It helps our veterinarian locate tumors, check organ function, detect fluid collections, and evaluate pregnancies. In those instances where a physical exam and lab work simply aren’t enough to effectively assess your pet’s condition, an ultrasound allows us to look inside your pet’s body and evaluate the situation. Images can be analyzed by our doctor in real-time or shared electronically with specialists, if necessary. Anesthesia and sedation are generally unnecessary for ultrasound procedures.
Southern Hills Animal Hospital provides ultrasound technology to pets in Shreveport, Bossier City, and throughout the Northeast region of Louisiana.
