Welcome to FurWell Veterinary Hospital, where our veterinary team uses advanced ultrasound technology to provide detailed, real-time imaging for pets in Greer, SC.
Veterinary ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging tool that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your pet’s internal organs and soft tissues in real time. Unlike X-rays, ultrasound shows organ structure, texture, and movement, making it ideal for evaluating the heart, liver, kidneys, bladder, spleen, and reproductive system. Ultrasound is also used to guide biopsies and aspirates, assess pregnancy, and investigate unexplained symptoms. At FurWell Veterinary Hospital, ultrasound is an essential part of our diagnostic capabilities, giving our team the information needed to make accurate diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans for your pet.
For most abdominal ultrasounds, the hair over the area to be examined is clipped and ultrasound gel is applied to ensure good contact between the probe and your pet’s skin. Most pets tolerate this well without sedation, though some may require mild sedation for comfort.
Your pet rests comfortably while our veterinarian moves the ultrasound probe gently over the area being examined. The exam typically takes 20–40 minutes. Our team monitors your pet’s comfort throughout the procedure.
After the ultrasound, our veterinarian reviews the images with you and explains what they show. If any abnormalities are detected, we discuss next steps for diagnosis and treatment, ensuring you are fully informed and confident in your pet’s care plan.
Ultrasound provides detailed images of soft tissues and organs that X-rays cannot fully capture. It helps detect masses, organ enlargement, fluid accumulation, and structural abnormalities.
Ultrasound does not involve radiation and is safe for pets of all ages and health statuses, including pregnant animals and those with other health concerns.
Ultrasound can be used to guide needle aspirates and biopsies, allowing our team to obtain diagnostic samples with precision and minimal discomfort for your pet.

Ultrasound can diagnose liver disease, kidney disease, bladder stones, splenic masses, reproductive issues, and many other conditions. It is often used alongside X-rays for comprehensive evaluation.
Most abdominal ultrasounds require fasting for several hours before the appointment to reduce gas in the digestive tract, which can interfere with imaging. Our team will provide specific preparation instructions when you schedule.
