I just spent the weekend in an intensive course on ultrasounds. So, now I’m ready to roll!
All vets get some training in school on how to ultrasound but most will end up calling in a specialist to do their ultrasounds for them. Now that I have this course under my belt I am excited to do some ultrasounds.
An ultrasound is better than an xray for many things. It is generally better for finding tumors or cancer in the abdomen.
I had my first ultrasound case yesterday. It was a large Golden Retriever. Large dogs are usually more difficult to ultrasound so I had my employer help me. It turns out that the poor boy has a tumor on his spleen.
Just thought I would let you know what I am doing. I have been practicing for 11 years but I am always learning!
