Pet Echocardiogram Husdon, MA
An echocardiogram is a specialized ultrasound of the heart that allows us to evaluate your pet’s heart structure and function without surgery or discomfort.
How Can An Echocardiogram Help My Pet?
Echocardiograms can help us determine the cause of heart murmurs and assess pets showing signs of heart disease.
We commonly recommend an echocardiogram for pets with:
- Newly detected heart murmurs
- Signs of suspected heart disease
- Changes in heart function that require further evaluation
Each echocardiogram is interpreted by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, providing expert guidance on diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and whether referral to a specialty cardiology service is needed.
While we can diagnose and help manage many acquired heart conditions, pets with congenital heart disease or complex cardiac disorders may require referral to a veterinary cardiologist for specialized care.
Offering echocardiograms in-house allows many pets to receive advanced cardiac screening more quickly and often at a lower cost than visiting a specialty hospital, helping families get answers sooner while ensuring their pets receive the most appropriate care.
