Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for cat ultrasound? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $300 while a specialty practice might charge $1,000. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Abdominal ultrasound is often the most informative single diagnostic test for sick cats. When combined with bloodwork, it provides a comprehensive picture. Specialist (internist) ultrasound is more thorough than general vet ultrasound and is worth the extra cost for complex cases.
Ultrasound examination of abdominal organs, interpretation by a trained veterinarian, and written report. Sedation if needed and FNA sampling are additional costs.
