We know that using ultrasound equipment for the first time can be daunting. Even if you know all the basic techniques, you need to be able to interpret the resulting images and assess their clinical relevance based on the patient’s symptoms. Vetoclock Vetoclock therefore offers specialist ultrasound assistance to help you to:

• Configure your equipment. We can help with technical queries to improve the images produced by your equipment. 

• Feel more confident in your diagnoses. Do you have an image or video in which you are not sure what you are seeing?  When starting out with this technique, endless queries come up, and we can solve them. 

• Diagnose the most complex cases, where internal medicine is combined with medical imaging (ultrasound, in this case). When there are multiple findings and fitting them together with the clinical assessment is difficult,  we will help you to clear things up.  

In addition, we provide practical advice, protocols and the latest scientific articles, so that you can stay up to date with all ultrasound developments. What we offer is not just a description of the image. We shed light on the case and help you to resolve it.

Specific cases with which we can help.

There are all sorts of situations where an ultrasound is required, and Vetoclock  can answer your questions on:

• Alterations in the female reproductive system (miscarriages, cysts, pyometra, etc.…) and the male reproductive system (benign prostatic hyperplasia, testicular torsion or tumours, localisation of testicle in the abdomen of cryptorchid or monorchid animals, etc.). 

• The detection of internal haemorrhage in animals with multiple traumas. 

• Alterations like pancreatitis, hepatitis, organ torsion, intestinal perforation due to foreign bodies, etc. 

• Urination problems (blocked urinary tract, cystitis, bladder tumours, presence of stones, etc.). 

• The presence of free peritoneal fluid. 

• Gastrointestinal problems: due to vomiting or chronic diarrhoea, foreign bodies, intussusception, inflammatory diseases or tumours. 

• The detection of portosystemic shunts. 

• The detection of aortic and iliac thromboses, which cause paralysis of the back legs in cats. 

• Preanaesthetic assessments for animals with heart disease or cardiac risk, and for animals about to undergo tumour removal surgery to check there is no metastasis. 

• The detection of congenital heart diseases and monitoring of acquired chronic diseases such as mitral valve disease. 

• Kidney disease. 

• Evaluation of the eyeball and adjacent structures. 

• The presence and extraction of grass awns, which create fistula paths..
