Ultrasound Services & Species

Abdominal Ultrasound

An abdominal ultrasound provides a comprehensive look inside the abdomen where all organs are examined and many disease processes can be diagnosed (and ruled out), which will allow your vet to formulate the best treatment plan possible for your pet. 

Ultrasound Guided Procedures

We use ultrasounds to achieve minimally invasive procedures including fine needle aspirates, tissue core biopsies, fluid drainage, foreign body retrieval, and ethanol ablation.

Echocardiogram

Also known as a cardiac ultrasound, echocardiograms allow us to look at the heart and find any structural changes that might explain heart murmurs, abnormal rhythms, or episodes of cough and collapse. Imaging the heart in this way also helps determine if pets are safe to undergo anesthesia.

Mobile Services

We stay mobile to serve animals in need where ultrasounds are not offered in vet clinics. We support vet clinics in Watauga, Wilkes, Ashe, Avery, Caldwell, Catawba, Burke, Mitchell, and Carter counties.

Species We Work With

We can serve most animals from guinea pigs, dogs, and cats to snakes and otters. If your pet is a farm animal, you will need to source an ultrasound from a large animal veterinarian. Contact your vet to determine the right ultrasound service for your pet.
