New Ultrasound

highly detailed pictures

Two pups looking identical. One has a heart murmur. Is it a problem? Will it affect the dog later in life? We can now offer advanced ultrasound diagnosis which will allow us to look at the heart muscle as it beats, take measurements and examine the blood flow through the heart. This helps us greatly in reassuring you - or otherwise! Remember, ultrasound is completely safe and often does not even need sedation

Our new state of the art ultrasound scanner has the ability to view very small structures in great detail, take measurements and record videos and photos. A great help also when examining a dog's abdomen which feels abnormal, or the cat with affected kidneys, or bladder stones, gall stones and growths in general. This is a major investment and will allow us to perform a referral service for other Vets in the N-E of Scotland. The scanner will record high definition movies and pictures and the doppler facility allows us to look at blood flow in great detail.

This is only of use if you have a Vet who can interpret these images and our latest associate to join us is Dr David Spratt, who has had advanced training in ultrasound techniques, and is a Certificate holder in Cardiology (heart diagnosis and treatment). David can provide acurate interpretation of scans in dogs, cats and horses, adding to our exisisting scanning skills.

Our mobile units allow tendon and pregnancy scanning of horses - even in your stable.
