- What is an ultrasound used for at Salt River Veterinary Specialists?
- An ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging procedure that provides an in-depth view of a pet’s internal organs. It is used to detect alterations in abdominal organs, assist in recognizing cysts and tumors, and evaluate heart conditions, known as echocardiograms. This procedure often does not require anesthesia or sedation.
- How does Salt River Veterinary Specialists perform laser bladder stone removal?
- Laser bladder stone removal, or laser lithotripsy, is a minimally invasive procedure to remove bladder, urethra, and ureteral stones. A cystoscope with a camera helps locate stones, and a laser fiber breaks them into small pieces. These fragments are then removed with a small basket or flushed out. Anesthesia is important, but no surgical incisions are required.
- What is an endoscopy and what can it identify?
- An endoscopy is a minimally invasive examination of a pet’s esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestines using a lighted, flexible endoscope with a camera. This procedure helps find abnormalities such as ulcers, areas of inflammation, polyps, and tumors. Anesthesia is necessary for the examination, but it is often very short, and no external incisions are required.
