Ultrasound examination (ultrasound)

On ultrasound, the doctor can confirm or exclude the alleged pathologies: inflammation of the uterus, polycystic kidney disease, stones in the bladder, kidneys, gallbladder, abdominal mass and many others. With the help of ultrasound, it is possible to predict the extent and extent of the lesion, and to be able to inform the owners about the prognosis, methods and treatment options.

The advantages of the method are:

Informativeness Quickness of obtaining the result Painlessness in relation to the animal Absence of adverse effects of ultrasound radiation on the patient and the doctor

How is an ultrasound examination performed?

The ultrasound procedure is painless, but most pets are very negative about fixation in an unusual position of the body on the table, especially cats and very active dog breeds. Therefore, it usually takes 2 people to perform the fixation during the procedure.

Important!

Correct position of the patient during examination.

Fixation of the animal in the correct position during ultrasound examination is, first of all, a necessary condition. Many organs are examined in strictly defined body positions.

Hair removal.

Immediately before the examination, the doctor shaves off the hair in the area required for examination using a special clipper, since there should be no "obstacle" (wool, undercoat, etc.) between the ultrasound sensor and the patient's skin to obtain a good quality image.

If the animal is aggressive towards strangers, fearful, or too emotional, sedation is used.
