Ultrasonography
At Ourimbah Veterinary Hospital we have full Digital Ultrasound
capabilities. Ultrasound is a safe and painfree method of diagnostic imaging.
Ultrasound gives us a more detailed non-invasive
view of the chest and abdomen in order to investigate underlying medical problems.
Our machine is equipped
with full colour doppler which allows the imaging of areas of blood flow within
the internal organs and heart. This is particularly useful in investigation of potential
cardiac disease.
For us to obtain these
images we will need to clip some fur from the area being examined. Some pets may
also require some sedation for the examination. We recommend at least a 12 hour
fast prior to the procedure.

information about this procedure please
