**Worried about your pet's health? Take care of preventive health care and detailed diagnostics with ultrasound (USG) examinations at our veterinary clinic in Warsaw's Ochota district!**Ultrasound (ultrasonography) is one of the most advanced diagnostic tools available, allowing veterinarians to obtain a detailed image of the internal organs of your dog and cat. This examination makes it possible to detect health abnormalities early, which often saves animals' lives and allows effective treatment to be started sooner. Why is it worth having an ultrasound done for your animal? Regular diagnostic examinations such as ultrasound are key to the preventive health care of our four-legged friends. Unlike people, animals often cannot signal pain or discomfort. Thanks to an ultrasound examination, a veterinarian can accurately assess:
- Internal organs: the liver, kidneys, spleen, pancreas, and urinary bladder.
- Reproductive system: especially important in female dogs and cats, which may suffer from diseases of the uterus or ovaries.
- Areas that are hard to reach during a standard physical examination, such as the heart (in combination with an ECHO examination), the intestines, or the stomach.
An ultrasound examination is painless, non-invasive, and completely safe, which makes it an ideal solution for both young and older animals.
When is it worth considering an ultrasound examination? An ultrasound is recommended in several key situations, including:
- Routine prevention– especially in older animals, which are more prone to diseases of the internal organs.
- Worrying health symptoms, such as:
○ Loss of appetite or weight, or excessive thirst. ○ Abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea. ○ Blood in the urine or difficulty passing urine.
- Suspected pregnancy– an ultrasound examination makes it possible to monitor the development of the foetuses and the mother's state of health.
4. Follow-up after injuries– e.g. after car accidents, which can damage internal organs. What does an ultrasound examination look like at our clinic? At our veterinary clinic, we take care of the comfort and safety of animals during every examination. The process is as follows:
- **Preparing the animal:**Only if necessary, we shave a small area of fur so that the ultrasound probe has full contact with the skin.
- **Applying the gel:**A special gel is applied to the skin, which ensures better image quality.
- **The examination:**The veterinarian gently moves the probe over the animal's body while analysing the image on the screen.
- **Interpreting the results:**After the examination, the veterinarian discusses the results with the owner, suggesting further diagnostic or therapeutic steps if they are needed.
The whole process usually takes from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of organs examined and the animal's cooperation.
