Benefits of an In-Clinic Ultrasound for Pets

At Black Mountain Animal Hospital in Rancho Peñasquitos, we offer in-house ultrasound services during physical exams, eliminating the need for off-site referrals and providing fast, convenient answers when your pet isn’t feeling their best.

Comprehensive Internal Imaging

Ultrasounds allow us to assess your pet’s internal organs and diagnose issues like GI conditions, bladder stones, heart concerns, or pregnancy—things that aren’t always visible in a standard exam.

Early Diagnosis = Better Care

Ultrasounds help us detect potential problems early, so we can intervene sooner and improve outcomes for your pet’s health.

Gentle, Low-Stress Care

Our Fear Free® certified team uses calming techniques to keep pets relaxed during procedures, helping reduce anxiety for both you and your pet.

Clear Communication for Pet Owners

We’ll walk you through the entire ultrasound process and explain the results, so you’re informed and confident every step of the way.

Our Pet Ultrasound Process

At Black Mountain Animal Hospital in Rancho Peñasquitos, we make every effort to ensure your pet’s ultrasound is as smooth and stress-free as possible. If needed, we may recommend additional imaging or refer to a board-certified specialist for deeper insight.

Black Mountain Animal Hospital|Pet Ultrasound

Ultrasound Appointment

Most ultrasounds are quick and painless. If your pet is anxious, we may prescribe calming medication beforehand. The area to be scanned will typically need to be shaved to ensure a clear image.

Discussing Results

Once the scan is complete, your veterinarian will go over the results with you and answer any questions. If a specialist's input is needed, we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Next Steps for Care

If treatment is needed, we’ll provide a personalized care plan which may include medications, follow-up visits, or referral to a trusted veterinary specialist.

In-Clinic Pet Ultrasound Overview

At Black Mountain Animal Hospital in Rancho Peñasquitos, our veterinary team performs in-house ultrasound procedures during sick visits when advanced imaging is needed. For more complex cases, we may refer your pet to a veterinary specialist for additional diagnostics.

AFAST and TFAST Imaging

AFAST (abdominal-focused assessment) and TFAST (thoracic-focused assessment) scans help us detect fluid in the chest or abdomen, especially in emergency or trauma-related cases.

Echocardiogram (Cardiac Ultrasound)

An echocardiogram is used to examine the structure and function of your pet’s heart and can help detect cardiac disease early.
