Companion Animal Ultrasound

Companion animal ultrasounds need to be versatile to cover a wide array of patients. Even traditionally labeled livestock like pigs can serve as companion animals, as can birds, horses, guinea pigs, and even mice. They all have different body types and biologies. Some provide invaluable emotional support and a healthy bond that improves the owner’s quality of life, and vice-versa.

With black and white imaging as well as a portable device, you can routinely perform ultrasounds for large and small animals.

If you need a device that works with different smartphone apps in real time including the Android, the Philips Lumify® Veterinary Ultrasound Machine is also viable and secure. You simply need to match it with the right transducer from the Philips brand. Adjust parameters and livestream images accordingly.

For free-hand 3D imaging, consider the Mindray Vetus E7 Veterinary Ultrasound Machine. This particular model has smart workflow and a small carbon footprint while also catering to various animals. Examine soft tissue with ease, especially with Tissue Doppler Imaging.

What Constitutes A Companion Animal

A companion animal is different from a typical pet or service animal in that they aren’t trained to provide services, but give emotional support and motivation regardless. A layman may have heard the joke “This is my emotional support animal” but it is no laughing matter.

The owner in this case has a disability or a handicap, usually listed on medical or government records. A companion animal lifts their mood and gives them the motivation to carry out daily tasks. Note that the disability has to be registered officially, which can make life harder for the owner in question.
