Ultrasound Services for Small & Large Animals

At Moreton Bay Vets, we offer ultrasound services designed to provide a safe, non-invasive, and effective diagnostic tool for both small and large animals. Using the latest technology, our veterinary team is able to obtain real-time images of your animal's internal organs and structures to assist in diagnosing a variety of health concerns.

What We Can Diagnose with Ultrasound for Small Animals:

Ultrasound is especially valuable for diagnosing soft tissue conditions that are not visible on X-rays. For small animals like dogs and cats, we use ultrasound to evaluate and diagnose a range of conditions, including:

• Abdominal issues: Ultrasound allows us to view the liver, kidneys, bladder, and spleen, making it ideal for diagnosing conditions like tumors, cysts, infections, or fluid accumulation.
• Pregnancy & reproductive health: Ultrasound is widely used to confirm pregnancy, monitor fetal development, and assess reproductive organs for issues like cysts or infections in both male and female animals.
• Urinary tract issues: We can identify urinary bladder stones, infections, or other abnormalities affecting the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.
• Soft tissue masses: Ultrasound helps detect and evaluate masses or growths within organs or tissues, providing valuable information for treatment plans.

What We Can Diagnose with Ultrasound for Large Animals:

Ultrasound is equally valuable for diagnosing health conditions in large animals such as horses, cattle, and other livestock. Some of the key issues we can diagnose with ultrasound in large animals include:

• Pregnancy & reproductive health: Ultrasound is crucial for confirming pregnancy, checking fetal health, and assessing reproductive conditions such as uterine infections, ovarian cysts, or hormonal imbalances in mares, and other large animals.
• Abdominal issues: Ultrasound helps assess the condition of the liver, spleen, kidneys, and intestines, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like colic, bloat, and gastrointestinal issues in large animals.
• Musculoskeletal injuries: We can assess soft tissue injuries, including ligament or tendon damage, helping to guide the treatment of joint or tendon strains in horses and other livestock.
• Liver, kidney, or bladder issues: Ultrasound is effective in detecting stones, infections, or growths in the urinary system or abdominal organs.

Our Advanced Ultrasound Equipment:

We utilize two portable ultrasound machines that bring the power of advanced imaging directly to you, whether at our clinic or on the farm. These portable units offer several benefits:
