Veterinary Echocardiograms for Dogs & Cats in Ozark, MO
Heart health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. At McClure Veterinary Clinic in Ozark, MO, we provide advanced echocardiograms for dogs and cats to assess heart structure, function, and potential cardiac disease. An echocardiogram, also known as a heart ultrasound, allows our veterinarians to view the heart in real time, giving us a clear picture of how the valves, chambers, and muscles are working.
Echocardiography is one of the most accurate and non-invasive tools used in veterinary cardiology, helping us diagnose heart conditions early so your pet receives the care they need as quickly as possible.
Comprehensive Pet Heart Imaging & Echocardiogram Services in Ozark, MO
Echocardiograms are one of the most effective tools for diagnosing heart conditions in dogs and cats. At McClure Veterinary Clinic in Ozark, MO, we provide advanced cardiac imaging to evaluate your pet’s heart function, valve performance, and overall cardiovascular health. Whether your pet is showing symptoms of heart disease or your veterinarian recommends further testing, our non-invasive echocardiogram allows us to detect issues early and develop the best treatment plan for long-term wellness.
Your veterinarian may recommend a heart ultrasound if your pet shows signs of possible cardiac disease, including:
• Heart murmur
• Irregular heartbeat
• Coughing or difficulty breathing
• Exercise intolerance
• Fainting or collapsing
• Lethargy or sudden fatigue
• Abnormal ECG findings
• Previous heart condition diagnosis
Because many heart diseases progress silently, an echocardiogram is often crucial for early detection.
An echocardiogram provides detailed information about:
• Heart valve function
• Chamber size and wall thickness
• Blood flow and circulation
• Heart muscle strength
• Presence of fluid around the heart
• Signs of heart disease or congenital defects
• Progression of existing heart conditions
This real-time imaging helps us make accurate diagnoses and create targeted treatment plans for long-term heart health.
Echocardiograms are completely painless and generally do not require sedation. Pets lie calmly on their side while our trained team uses a specialized ultrasound probe to capture high-quality images of the heart.
Benefits include:
• No radiation exposure
• Immediate results for faster treatment
• Ideal for monitoring chronic heart disease
• Safe for puppies, kittens, seniors, and medically fragile petsOur goal is to keep your pet comfortable while obtaining the most accurate cardiac information possible.
