Ultrasound

Home / Our Services/ Ultrasound

Lake Area Animal Hospital offers pet parents access to a wide range of the latest diagnostic tools available in veterinary medicine. The use of ultrasound in diagnosing disease and injury in animals is becoming more prevalent in today’s veterinary medicine practice.

Ultrasound is an extremely useful non-invasive diagnostic instrument that produces clear, easy to read images that are more detailed than an x-ray. It helps our veterinarians locate tumors, check organ function, detect fluid collections, and of course evaluate pregnancies. In those instances where a physical exam and lab work simply aren’t enough to effectively assess your pet’s condition, an ultrasound allows us to look inside your pet’s body and evaluate the situation. Images can be analyzed by our doctors in real-time or shared electronically with specialists if necessary.

Lake Area Animal Hospital provides ultrasound and other in-clinic diagnostic services to pets in Lake Charles, Iowa, Welsh, Bell City, and Ragley, as well as other neighboring communities.

We adopted my sweet pup, Basil, at Lake Area Animal Hospital years ago. It was evident that the staff loved and cared for Basil. They even sent us home with a list of thing Basil liked and didn’t like. We have also had a dog treated for diabetes at Lake Area Hospital. The staff was knowledgeable and trained our family to give him his insulin.

I love the veterinarians and the medical staff. They were very loving toward my fur baby Lucy and they even snapped a picture with her doing some tricks! She always loves getting treats from them while they do what they need to do and they are so careful not to hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable. And they also give her all the belly rubs.
