What to Expect During a Pet Ultrasound Appointment
Most ultrasounds take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the evaluation. The area to be imaged is usually shaved to ensure better contact between the probe and the skin. Your pet may lie on a padded table during the scan, and a trained veterinary professional will gently position the probe to capture detailed images.
Our veterinarians review the results and discuss findings with you to outline next steps, whether that involves further testing, medical management, or monitoring.
