Caring Hands Animal Hospital

read moreCaring Hands is a network of eight veterinary hospitals born from a simple idea: we can create a better world for animals and the people who love them. We think deeply about what a veterinary practice can be and mean for pets and people. We think differently about how to build it. Relationships can only work on a strong foundation of trust. That is why we have built the most open and transparent veterinary experience in the region. You're their hero, their best friend, their world. They trust you with their care.

An ultrasound, or sonogram, uses sound waves from a probe that are converted into an image. These images are displayed on the monitor, giving the veterinarian a 2-dimensional "picture" of your pet's organs. Radiology (or "x-ray") is a great diagnostic tool used to image soft-tissue structures, the internal organs, and bones. Many times both digital radiographs (X-rays) and ultrasound of your pet are recommended for best evaluation of your pet's problem.
