Advanced Pet Ultrasounds in Sand Springs, OK

Sometimes, a physical exam or even an X-ray can’t tell the whole story about your pet’s health. To get the clearest possible picture, we need to look deeper. At McKinney Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced pet ultrasounds—a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to see your pet’s internal organs in real time. Since 1984, our team has been dedicated to providing the highest level of care for the pets of Sand Springs and Green Country, and that includes investing in the best diagnostic technology available.

A Clearer Picture of Your Pet’s Health

A veterinary ultrasound is a painless, radiation-free procedure that uses sound waves to create a live video image of your pet’s internal structures. This technology is incredibly valuable because, while X-rays are excellent for viewing bones, ultrasounds excel at showing the size, shape, and texture of soft-tissue organs.

This allows our experienced veterinarians to:

  • Assess the health of abdominal organs like the liver, kidneys, spleen, and bladder.
  • Detect tumors, cysts, abscesses, or abnormal fluid.
  • Evaluate heart function and structure (an echocardiogram).
  • Safely confirm and monitor pregnancies.
  • Guide minimally-invasive biopsies with precision.

By providing a detailed, real-time view, pet ultrasounds enable us to make more accurate diagnoses and develop more effective treatment plans, fulfilling our promise to provide the finest care for every patient.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Ultrasound

We understand that any diagnostic procedure can be a source of anxiety, which is why we strive to make the ultrasound experience as calm and stress-free as possible for your pet.

To prepare for the scan, we will need to shave the fur on the area being examined, as fur can interfere with the sound waves. Your pet will then lie on a soft, padded table in a quiet room. We will apply a cool, water-based gel to their skin and gently move a small probe across the surface.

The procedure is completely painless. Most pets relax during the scan, and sedation is typically not required unless a pet is particularly anxious or in pain. Our compassionate team will be with your pet the entire time, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable

A Trusted Part of the Sand Springs Community

McKinney Animal Hospital has been a proud member of the Sand Springs community since 1984. We are dedicated to the health of Green Country’s pets and are committed to giving back to our community by supporting local schools. Our investment in advanced technology like pet ultrasounds is another way we fulfill our promise to provide the families we serve with a level of care and service that exceeds expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an ultrasound painful for my pet?
Not at all. The procedure is non-invasive and completely painless. The only sensations your pet will feel are the cool gel on their skin and the gentle pressure of the ultrasound probe.
Will my pet need to be sedated?
Most pets handle ultrasounds very well without any need for sedation.4 We only recommend a mild sedative if a pet is very anxious or fearful, ensuring they remain calm and comfortable so we can obtain the best possible images.
How long does an ultrasound take?
A typical ultrasound scan takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case and what our veterinarians need to evaluate.
