Ultrasound

Silver Maple Veterinary Clinic offers ultrasound services, including ultrasonography of the abdomen and limited cardiac screenings. Some diagnoses of certain dog and cat health conditions need the use of a veterinary ultrasound machine, as it allows visualization of organs in three dimensions. We have three qualified veterinarians who perform ultrasound services with our two high-quality machines.

Veterinary ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive, and safe tool allowing visualization of tissues not otherwise possible. It produces an image through high-frequency sound waves aimed at a certain area of the body. As the sound waves travel into the body they return images of the internal organs. Since ultrasounds return results in real-time, the veterinarian can see how the organs are moving and how blood is flowing through the dog or cat at the time of the procedure.
