Every Tuesday, Dr. Chris Ludlow comes to Hyde Park Veterinary Clinic to perform outpatient abdominal ultrasounds and echocardiograms. An ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of organs, tissues, and other structures inside your pet’s body. It allows our veterinarians to see into your pet’s body without surgery. This is a valuable diagnostic tool for conditions such as heart disease, cancer, liver issues, and kidney disease.
