POCUS Point-of-Care-Ultrasound

Point of care Ultrasound means your pet can have a non-invasive internal ultrasound exam right in a house call appointment. No waiting or additional appointment scheduling needed. POCUS is popular in emergency medicine for humans because it gives the doctor so much more understanding about what is going on with the body. Since animals do not tell us their symptoms, ultrasound can take your pet’s medical care to a new level of understanding and action.

Dr Truli has been performing ultrasound exams since 1999 for small animal practice, emergency care and neonatal care. Pregnancy, bladder stones, tumors, liver scans, kidney scans, heart exams, tendons and ligaments and much more!
