🔎 WHAT CAN ULTRASOUND HELP US FIND?

PART 5: LIVER & GALLBLADDER CHANGES

The liver can’t tell us what’s wrong but sometimes an ultrasound can give us important clues. 💙

🔍 WHAT WE MAY SEE:

🐾 Changes in liver size or appearance
🐾 Liver nodules or masses
🐾 Gallbladder abnormalities
🐾 Gallstones or abnormal material within the gallbladder
🐾 Changes involving the bile ducts
🐾 Abdominal fluid or other surrounding abnormalities

🚩 POSSIBLE SIGNS:

🐾 Decreased appetite
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhea
🐾 Weight loss
🐾 Lethargy or weakness
🐾 Yellowing of the eyes, skin, or gums
🐾 Abdominal discomfort or swelling
🐾 Sometimes no obvious symptoms at all

🩺 WHY ULTRASOUND MATTERS:

Ultrasound allows us to examine the size, shape, texture, and structure of the liver and gallbladder in real time. It may help identify abnormalities and guide additional diagnostics, such as bloodwork or sampling, when appropriate.

PART 4: KIDNEY CHANGES 🫘

Bloodwork tells us how the kidneys are functioning. Ultrasound helps us see what they look like. 🩺

Ultrasound gives our veterinary team a detailed look at the size, shape, structure, and appearance of the kidneys and can help identify changes that may not be obvious from the outside.

🔍 WHAT WE MAY SEE
🐾 Changes in kidney size or shape
🐾 Kidney stones
🐾 Cysts or masses
🐾 Changes in internal kidney structure
🐾 Dilation associated with urinary obstruction

🚩 POSSIBLE SIGNS
💧 Increased thirst or urination
🍽️ Decreased appetite
🤢 Vomiting or nausea
⚖️ Weight loss
😴 Lethargy
🩸 Blood in the urine or difficulty urinating

🩺 WHY ULTRASOUND MATTERS

Ultrasound can help us visualize structural changes in the kidneys and urinary tract, while bloodwork and urinalysis provide additional information about kidney function. Together, these diagnostics can give us a much more complete picture of your pet’s health.

💙 Sometimes the answers are beneath the surface.

PART 3: BLADDER MASSES

When urinary symptoms keep coming back, it may be time to look a little closer. 🩺

For the graphic, I’d keep the same layout as your other ultrasound posts:

🔍 WHAT WE MAY SEE

* Abnormal masses or growths
* Bladder wall thickening
* Irregular areas of the bladder wall
* Sediment or other bladder changes

🚩 POSSIBLE SIGNS

* Blood in the urine
* Frequent urination
* Straining to urinate
* Urinary accidents
* Discomfort while urinating
* Recurrent urinary symptoms

🩺 WHY ULTRASOUND MATTERS

Ultrasound allows us to examine the bladder wall and surrounding structures in real time. If an abnormal area or mass is found, additional testing may be recommended to determine exactly what it is.

🔎🐾 A closer look can lead to better answers!

When a pet is experiencing ongoing vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weight loss, or other gastrointestinal concerns, sometimes we need to take a look at what’s happening on the inside. 💙

Endoscopy uses a small, flexible camera to allow our veterinary team to examine portions of the gastrointestinal tract without traditional exploratory surgery. Depending on the situation, it may also allow us to:

🐾 Look for inflammation or ulcers
🧸 Investigate and sometimes retrieve certain foreign objects
🔬 Collect biopsies for further testing
🩺 Gather information that can help guide diagnosis and treatment

One of the biggest benefits? It’s minimally invasive, which can mean smaller or no surgical incisions and an easier recovery compared with some surgical procedures.

Every pet and every case is different, so our veterinary team will determine when endoscopy is an appropriate diagnostic or treatment option.

💙 Advanced care. Better answers. Happier pets.

PART 2: BLADDER STONES 🪨

Sometimes what looks like a simple urinary issue may have something more going on underneath. 💙

Bladder stones can cause irritation and discomfort and may lead to signs such as frequent urination, straining to urinate, blood in the urine, accidents in the house, or excessive licking of the urinary area. Some pets, however, may show very subtle signs.

🩺 That’s where ultrasound can help! Ultrasound allows our veterinary team to look inside the bladder and identify stones, sediment, bladder-wall changes, and other abnormalities that may be contributing to your pet’s symptoms.

Finding the cause helps us determine the next steps and create a treatment plan tailored to your pet. 🐶🐱

🚨 Important: If your pet is repeatedly straining but producing little to no urine, especially a male cat, this can be a life-threatening urinary obstruction and requires immediate veterinary attention.

💙 Early answers can make a difference.

🔎🐾 WHAT CAN ULTRASOUND HELP US FIND?
PART 1: SPLENIC MASSES

Sometimes, what’s happening on the inside isn’t obvious from the outside. 💙

The spleen is an important abdominal organ, and ultrasound allows our veterinary team to take a closer look at its size, shape, structure, and appearance. It can help identify abnormalities such as masses, nodules, enlargement, or changes within the spleen that may require further investigation.

Some pets with splenic abnormalities may show signs like weakness, decreased appetite, lethargy, pale gums, or even collapse while others may have very few noticeable symptoms at all.

It’s important to remember that not every splenic mass is cancerous, and ultrasound alone cannot always tell us exactly what a mass is. What it can do is provide valuable information that helps us determine the safest and most appropriate next steps for your pet. 🩺

💙 Early answers can make a difference.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of our ultrasound series, where we’ll show you another condition ultrasound can help us investigate!
