Is your pet showing any of these symptoms?
-
Have they detected a heart murmur? It is vital to perform an echocardiography to assess cardiac function and start treatment in time.
-
Frequent vomiting or loss of appetite? Abdominal ultrasound allows us to examine organs such as the liver, kidneys or spleen in a non-invasive way.
-
Do you notice they tire very quickly or cough while walking? These could be signs of veterinary cardiology conditions that require a specialised check-up.
-
Have they found a mass or lump in the abdomen? Thanks to the high resolution of our equipment, we can determine the origin and severity of the lesion.
-
Do you need a preventive check-up because of their age? Especially in senior animals, ultrasound is the best tool to detect problems before symptoms appear.
👉 At Clínica Veterinaria Somo we turn uncertainty into a clear diagnosis through advanced imaging technology and care full of patience.

Frequently Asked Questions about Veterinary Ultrasound and Cardiology
Does my pet need to be sedated for an ultrasound?
In the vast majority of cases, sedation is not necessary. As it is a painless and non-invasive test, we use gentle handling so the animal stays calm. Only in patients that are difficult to handle would light sedation be considered for their wellbeing.
How long does an echocardiography take?
A complete cardiology consultation, which includes the heart ultrasound and flow measurements, usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. We take all the time needed to obtain accurate images and to keep your pet stress-free.
Do I have to bring my dog or cat on an empty stomach?
For an abdominal ultrasound, a 4-hour fast from solid food is ideal. This prevents gas or food in the stomach from obstructing the view of the organs. For an echocardiography (heart), fasting is not usually strictly necessary, but we will confirm this when you book your appointment.
Do I have to shave my pet's coat for the test?
Yes, for the ultrasound waves to travel properly and the image to be sharp, a small shave of the area being examined is necessary. The fur will grow back normally within a few weeks.
When will I have the ultrasound results?
At Clínica Veterinaria Somo we provide the results immediately or in less than 24 hours. We will explain the findings to you after the test so you know the next steps to follow, with no unnecessary waiting.
