Advanced Pet Ultrasound

At Barkfield Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced ultrasound technology as a key component of our diagnostic toolkit. While X-rays are excellent for looking at bones and the general size of organs, ultrasound allows us to look inside the organs themselves. This "real-time" imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to create a detailed picture of your pet's internal anatomy, allowing our veterinarians to see the texture, blood flow, and movement of the heart, liver, kidneys, and more.
Because ultrasound is completely non-invasive and does not use radiation, it is an incredibly safe option for pets of all ages—from checking on a pregnancy to monitoring a senior pet’s chronic condition. It is often the gold standard for investigating symptoms like chronic vomiting, unexplained weight loss, or abnormal blood work. By getting a clear, high-definition view of what is happening beneath the surface, we can diagnose issues like bladder stones, organ tumors, or heart valve problems with incredible precision. This allows us to move straight to the most effective treatment plan, saving valuable time and ensuring your pet gets back to their happy, healthy self as quickly as possible.Digital X-rays are an essential tool for evaluating a wide range of conditions, from identifying broken bones and joint issues like arthritis to detecting foreign objects your pet may have swallowed. We also use radiology to assess the size and shape of internal organs like the heart, lungs, and liver, which is vital for diagnosing respiratory issues or heart disease. Furthermore, digital files can be shared instantly with board-certified radiologists via the cloud, ensuring that if your pet needs a specialist's second opinion, we can get answers in hours rather than days. This technology reflects our commitment to providing the families of Cumming with fast, accurate, and non-invasive medical solutions.Because our pets are masters at hiding pain, they often suffer in silence with broken teeth or infected gums. Our professional dental services are designed to identify hidden sources of discomfort and stop the progression of periodontal disease. By investing in regular dental cleanings and professional assessments, you aren't just improving your pet's quality of life; you are likely extending their lifespan. We utilize modern veterinary dental technology to ensure that every cleaning is thorough, safe, and effective, giving your pet a pain-free mouth and a reason to keep wagging their tail.
