Examining soft tissues for health conditions and pregnancy through

Pet Ultrasound.

While X-rays are best for examining bones, ultrasound is better suited for a closer look at soft tissues. Our veterinary team at Happy Valley Veterinary Hospital performs pet ultrasound imaging to help diagnose and monitor health conditions in Campbell, CA area cats and dogs. Our abdominal diagnostic ultrasound provides detailed images of your pet’s internal organs so that you can work with your veterinarian to make accurate and informed decisions about your companion’s care.

Getting a full picture of pet ultrasound.

Pet ultrasound, also known as sonography, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. A small handheld device called a transducer is placed on your pet’s skin, emitting sound waves that bounce off internal structures and return to the transducer. These returning sound waves are converted into real-time images displayed on a monitor. Ultrasound is a noninvasive and painless procedure that does not involve radiation, making it a safe option for diagnostic imaging.
