Ultrasound is a quick, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to see inside your pet’s body without the harmful radiation associated with x-rays. At Bruce Lowenstein DVM House Call Veterinarian, we are pleased to offer ultrasound imaging to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of health conditions.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs and structures. Because it is completely painless and does not require radiation, it is a safe option for pets of all ages. The procedure provides valuable information that complements other diagnostic tools, helping us evaluate the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and other organs in detail.

This imaging technique is especially useful for investigating the cause of symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, vomiting, changes in appetite, or abnormalities detected during a physical exam or blood work. Ultrasound can help identify issues including organ enlargement, masses, fluid accumulation, and structural abnormalities, often allowing us to reach a diagnosis without more invasive procedures.

Ultrasound is an important part of our diagnostic capabilities and works hand in hand with our internal medicine services. The sooner we can identify the source of a problem, the sooner we can begin appropriate treatment and help your pet return to their normal, happy self. Because the procedure is non-stressful and well tolerated, most pets remain calm and comfortable throughout.

We are committed to using advanced diagnostic tools to provide your pet with the best possible care. To learn more about our ultrasound services or to schedule an appointment, please call us today at (212) 769-3900.
