At All Pets Medical Center, we’re committed to delivering the highest level of care by using the best diagnostic tools available. One of the most valuable technologies we offer is point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). This in-house imaging service allows our veterinarians to quickly and non-invasively assess your pet’s health, often during the same appointment.
POCUS is a versatile, painless procedure that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and structures. Our trained veterinary team uses ultrasound in many ways to help pets feel better faster.
Our Point-of-Care Ultrasound Services
🫀 Cardiology Scans
We perform focused cardiac ultrasounds to assess heart function, detect valve issues, evaluate chamber size, and screen for diseases like cardiomyopathy. This is especially helpful for pets showing signs of heart disease (coughing, exercise intolerance, fainting) or for breeds at higher risk of cardiac conditions.
🐾 Abdominal and Thoracic (Sick Pet) Scans
When pets are sick, they can’t tell us what hurts. Abdominal and thoracic ultrasounds help us quickly evaluate organs such as the liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, stomach, intestines, and lungs. This is invaluable for:
-
Vomiting or diarrhea
-
Difficulty breathing
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Suspected fluid buildup in the chest or abdomen
-
Trauma cases
With POCUS, we can make rapid, informed decisions about treatment plans or referrals.
🩺 Wellness Screening
Ultrasound isn’t just for sick pets! We also use it in preventive care. Routine abdominal screenings in older pets can help detect early changes in organs that might not yet cause symptoms. Early detection leads to better outcomes.
🐶 Reproductive Tracking
For breeders or owners of pregnant animals, we offer reproductive ultrasound to:
-
Confirm pregnancy
-
Estimate fetal counts
-
Track fetal development
-
Monitor for complications
This helps ensure healthier pregnancies and deliveries.
Why Point-of-Care Ultrasound Matters
POCUS is fast, safe, and comfortable for pets. It provides immediate insights that can guide treatment, reduce the need for invasive procedures, and improve outcomes. Having this capability in-house means your pet gets answers quickly, often without needing to travel to a specialty hospital.
At All Pets Medical Center, we believe in combining compassionate care with advanced technology. Our point-of-care ultrasound service is just one of the ways we work to keep your pets healthy, happy, and by your side for as long as possible.
