Advanced Ultrasound Diagnostics at Pawvet Clinic

Accurate answers. Gentle, stress-free care.

At Pawvet Clinic, we provide advanced veterinary ultrasound imaging to deliver fast, accurate diagnoses while keeping your pet comfortable and calm. Our modern equipment, fear-free handling, and experienced clinical team allow us to investigate a wide range of conditions on-site—often avoiding the need for external referrals.

Whether your pet requires a routine abdominal scan, a cardiac assessment, or a specialist-supported diagnostic work-up, our ultrasound service ensures clarity, confidence, and compassionate care at every step.

Why Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive imaging technique that enables us to view internal organs in real time. It helps diagnose medical conditions early, monitor ongoing disease, and guide treatment decisions with precision.

Abdominal Ultrasound

A full abdominal scan allows us to evaluate the health, structure and function of key internal organs, including:

• Liver and gallbladder

• Kidneys and bladder

• Spleen and pancreas

• Gastrointestinal tract

• Uterus, prostate and reproductive organs

• Lymph nodes and major vessels

Common reasons for abdominal ultrasound:
Vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, urinary concerns, unexplained bloodwork changes, abdominal pain, or monitoring of chronic conditions.

Our team provides clear explanations and same-day interpretations so you understand your pet’s results and next steps before you leave the clinic.

Cardiac (Heart) Ultrasound – Echocardiography

We offer comprehensive echocardiography for dogs and cats to assess heart structure and function. This scan helps diagnose:

• Heart murmurs

• Valve disease

• Dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

• Congenital defects

• Fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)

Early detection allows timely intervention, better management and improved quality of life for pets with heart conditions.

Where required, Pawvet works with RCVS-recognised cardiology specialists, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of cardiac care.

Specialist-Supported Diagnostics

For more complex cases, we collaborate closely with advanced imaging specialists who can review scans, provide second opinions, or guide detailed diagnostic planning.
This ensures:

• Accurate interpretation of challenging or unusual findings

• Advanced case management without needing to travel

• Streamlined care from first consultation to diagnosis

• Continuity between your vet, the imaging specialist, and the wider clinical team

Specialist-supported ultrasound is ideal for masses, chronic disease monitoring, oncology cases, and pre-operative decision-making.
