Ultrasound

 

Ultrasound is a painless, safe, non-invasive procedure we use to evaluate your horse's internal organs. Using high-frequency sound waves, ultrasound produces a real-time moving picture of your horse's organs that allows us to visualize objects that cannot be detected by X-rays alone.

 

Ultrasound is frequently used for musculoskeletal and soft tissue evaluations, during advanced lameness work-ups, breeding management, early pregnancy diagnosis, cardiac imaging and evaluating the cause of colic. It can also be used to identify masses or tumors and as a guide during surgical biopsies.

 

The ultrasound procedure does not typically require sedation unless it is being used during a surgical biopsy. A diagnosis is usually available immediately - helping us to provide treatment options and solutions to your horse's problem at the time of your appointment.
