Cave Veterinary Ultrasound in Somerset
If your pet is in need of an ultrasound scan, Cave Veterinary Specialists can help you. We are a veterinary hospital and referral centre based in Somerset, and we offer veterinary ultrasound scans for small animals referred to us while offering an outstanding service no matter their conditions and needs.
We are committed to offering great care together with the help of our veterinary specialists and veterinary nurses, by providing not only a good service but also great facilities to help all patients under our care. Our hospital is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and our team is highly knowledgeable, compassionate, and friendly.
Pet Ultrasound
Thanks to our high-technology facilities, our veterinary ultrasound machines can offer amazing imagery and fast results, featuring full-colour flow echocardiography and spectral Doppler. These are used to diagnose many conditions with the use of ultrasound scanning sound waves, with no need for radiation such as other commonly required exams.
The ultrasound scans provide amazing imagery that an X-ray cannot offer, as well as provide details of the internal structure of organs and muscles, as well as distinguish internal and external cavities from the same. Pet ultrasound scans can also offer real-time imagery of the organs in function, allowing the exam and analysis of blood movement, as well as biopsies.
Cave Facilities and Consultations
The pet will have an initial consultation with one of our veterinary clinicians, where any concern will be raised together with all care needed prior to the exam. We usually recommend the use of sedation where possible during the veterinary ultrasound since anxiety and stress can cause agitation and injury. This will be discussed with the owner before the exam is scheduled.
In our facilities, we do our best to make both pets and pet owners comfortable, therefore offering separate sections for cats and dogs, as well as coffee and tea facilities for pet owners in the waiting area. We also have on our premises an amazing external area that pets can explore, helping them to feel comfortable.
If your pet needs more than an ultrasound scan in order to diagnose any issues we may concern about, we also have on our premises, a range of diagnostic facilities, as well as surgical theatres and hospitalisation facilities. This helps us to make everything we can in-house, and again, offering the best care possible for both pet owners and the pets under our care.
