FUNFACT:

When a dog is barking and you yell at him to be quiet, what he really hears is that you are barking too! Now he thinks everyone in his “pack” is barking, so it must be the right thing to do. A quick way to hush a barking dog is to quietly but firmly give him a command to do something else, such as sit or lie down.

Ultrasound

Sometimes an x-ray may not give us a clear enough view of the inside of your pet’s body; we may want to view the problem from a different perspective to obtain a diagnosis. In this case we can call into our hospital a traveling ultrasonographer.

Many pets tolerate the ultrasound procedure quite well; occasionally a more nervous pet may require a light sedation. If we see something on the ultrasound that is unusual we may choose to take a sample of tissue; to do this a general anesthetic is required. The ultrasound is performed and interpreted by a licensed veterinarian who has a special interest and is experienced in this technology. We will have the results of the ultrasound within minutes of completing the test.
