Ultrasound for Dogs and Cats
Non-invasive imaging to assess joints, muscles, and soft tissues
Ultrasound uses safe, high-frequency sound waves to create images of your pet’s muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. At MSK Vets, we focus on musculoskeletal structures, helping identify inflammation, injury, or abnormalities around joints.
Ultrasound is non-invasive, safe, and painless, giving your vet and our team clear insights to guide treatment plans for arthritis, joint injuries, or other musculoskeletal conditions.
What to expect
- Your pet will be gently positioned while the scan is performed — no radiation is involved.
- Ultrasound allows us to see soft tissue changes that aren’t visible on X-rays.
- The procedure is quick, stress-free, and helps us plan the most effective care for your dog or cat.
Advanced diagnostic support
- Dr Fabrizio Tucciarone, MRCVS RCVS Advanced Practitioner, provides on-site expertise in musculoskeletal and cervical ultrasound.
