What You Need To Know About Outpatient Ultrasounds at Wake Vet:

What to Expect During an Ultrasound

1. Preparation: Your pet will need to fast before the ultrasound, depending on the area being examined. Our staff will provide specific instructions tailored to your pet’s needs.
2. Procedure: The ultrasound is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure. Your pet will lie comfortably on a padded table while a veterinarian gently moves a handheld probe across the targeted area. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Results: In most cases, your primary care provider will receive the results on the same day. Our team will review the findings, explain any identified issues, and discuss the recommended treatment options or further diagnostics if needed.

Benefits of Ultrasound Diagnostics

• Non-Invasive: Unlike some diagnostic methods, ultrasounds do not require incisions or surgery, making them a safer option for many pets.
• Real-Time Imaging: Ultrasounds provide real-time images, allowing for immediate assessment and quick decision-making.
• Comprehensive: Ultrasounds can detect abnormalities that may not be visible through X-rays, offering a more detailed view of your pet’s internal health.
