Ultrasound is a valuable tool to veterinarians and is used in the diagnosis and evaluation of many different injuries and illnesses in both equine and small animals.
Valley View Animal Hospital uses the latest digital ultrasound system, which allows high resolution imaging for the clearest projected pictures and dynamic digital video clip storage and playback.
All ambulatory veterinarians are equipped with ultrasound machines in order to handle the routine application of monitoring reproduction cycles and pregnancy in broodmares.
An ultrasound can be especially useful in the diagnosis of joint, tendon and ligament injuries, as well as, in the evaluation of pneumonia, abdominal pain and late-term pregnancy. In addition, ultrasound is equally important in the monitoring of the healing process.
