Hello there! I understand you're worried about whether ultrasounds can miss large tumors. Let's explore this together.
Ultrasounds are a valuable tool in veterinary diagnostics, providing real-time images of your pet's internal organs. However, it's not flawless. Factors like the location of the tumor, the presence of gas or fluid, or even the operator's experience can impact the clarity of the image. Although large tumors are typically visible, certain conditions or positions can obscure them.
For at-home guidance, observe your pet for changes like unexpected weight loss, eating or drinking difficulties, changes in bathroom habits, or unusual lumps you can feel under their skin. These could be signs that something isn’t quite right.
If you notice any such symptoms, it’s essential to consult a veterinarian. More comprehensive diagnostic tests, such as a CT scan or an MRI, might be necessary to get a complete picture of your pet's health.
Always trust your instincts as a pet parent! If you're uneasy or have further questions, booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet can provide you with peace of mind and clarity on the next steps.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
