Heartworm is endemic in all 50 states, and is a highly susceptible disease that can be potentially fatal. Transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, heartworm's attack the lung, heart, and related blood vessels resulting in a variety of medical problems. The disease affects dogs, cats and many other species of animals. It is far more common in dogs than cats, and dogs are considered the definitive host. Thankfully heart worm disease is almost 100% preventable, but each year dogs are continually diagnosed.
Some dogs may show no signs of infection, but others have tiredness, strained exercise, anxiousness, cough, swollen stomach and weight loss. Early detection has the best outcome. Even when negative tests come back, ultrasonography can and should be used to confirm diagnosis. If you suspect an adult infection in a cat, an ultrasound scan is recommend. On the other hand in a dog a ultrasound scan is recommended for a symptomatic dog, and is important to rule out other diseases. A cardiac ultrasound imaging scan is a sensitive noninvasive procedure with a high rate of accuracy in diagnosis.
With ultrasonography you can see adult heartworms directly, allowing the internal structures of the heart and surrounding vessels to be viewed in real time. Ultrasound imaging can confirm heartworms when a mass of adults is identified in the right atrium, ventricle, and tricuspid orifice. The cuticular wall of adult worms is reflective and easily visualized by parallel hyperechoic lines, a mass or tangle of worms is seen as numerous short white parallel lines, similar to strands of spaghetti. When this is observed during a canine cardiac ultrasound exam it confirms the diagnosis of heartworms.
A practitioner or veterinarian can identify the presence of adult heart worms in the right side of the heart to confirm diagnosis. Any practitioner with access to an ultrasound machine and minimal training can make the diagnosis. Given this information, an ultrasound imaging scan should be performed when available. Ultrasonography makes diagnosis easier and helps both a veterinarian and pet owner move forward with treatment without hesitation.
If your looking for an affordable veterinary ultrasound machine that can scan the heart, the Color Doppler ECO5 Vet has a cardiology application for small animals with the micro-convex probe. A bump up to the ECO6 Vet will give you more advanced features and capabilities with a dedicated phased array probe and a professional veterinary cardiology package.

]]>Are you a dog breeder thinking of purchasing your own ultrasound to do pregnancy checking on your canine? Some breeders decide to buy an ultrasound machine since going to the vet with every pregnancy can be costly.
Ultrasound imaging is the best technique to detect pregnancy in your canine giving you accurate results. Ultrasound examination uses sound waves to create pictures and is safe for your dog.
Determining the amount of use, and your dedication to learning to use an ultrasound will help you make a wise decision. Ultrasounds can be costly, and it takes a trained eye and education to use one.
Performing an ultrasound at least 20 - 22 days after breeding is a great diagnostic tool to confirm pregnancy. Scanning your canine between 30 – 35 days is a good time for estimating numbers of puppies, but this is only an estimate. Specific Doppler ultrasounds can also determine heartbeats in the puppies.
While preforming an ultrasound on your pet will take practice and training, you can get an accurate diagnosis without going to a veterinarian. Training programs are available out there as well as research and practical tips online. In this way you can confidently identify pregnancy and, more important, non-pregnancy.
If you have small dogs or toy breeds with a small abdomen, you need to find a scanner with a micro convex probe. A micro convex probe has a higher frequency and can produce better images at a shallow depth. On the other hand, if you have a large breed of dog, with a larger abdomen, you will need a convex probe. A convex probe can penetrate deeper, and has a larger scanning area.
An easy to use, affordable and portable black and white ultrasound will be what you want to look for. You don't need anything fancy to do pregnancy checking, so an ultrasound $5000 and under will fit the bill. Used or refurbished units can also lessen the price.

]]>When it comes to treating medical issues there are a few similarities between animals and humans starting with the equipment needed to make an accurate diagnosis. When you are in pain the first thing you do is see the doctor and describe your symptoms and then based on this the doctor will run several tests to diagnose the problem. Animals are at a disadvantage because they cannot communicate in describing what hurts and the details of what they are feeling so the reliance of professionals on imaging equipment is that much greater.
Vet equipment has made significant leaps in technology and functionality over the past couple of decades where portable ultrasounds can be purchased online from reliable vendors in both new and/or used condition. This single machine provides flexibility to the vet so they can treat patients in the office or out in the field depending on size, condition and location. The affordability of used equipment ensures that no office has to go without them when working with a vendor that has a large inventory of options to choose from.
If a picture is worth a thousand words and one of these is generated by a quality ultrasound that can save an animal’s life then it now becomes a priceless piece of vet equipment to the owner. Online vendors are the ideal place to start looking for these machines because you can review all the specifications, details and cost while comparing to other locations. This allows you to make an informed and sound financial decision based on budget capability and needs of the area.
In addition, customers may find other machines and accessories that they can utilize in the practice that will assist with proper diagnosis and creating an efficient flow of events.
While humans can articulate, animals are reliant on technology and imaging software and hardware that can do the talking for them when it comes to finding medical issues. As a vet, make sure that you have explored all the online options and have your vet equipment on order and ready to ship to your office today. The investment is worth it in a hundred different ways.
Veterinary instruments are a critical part of running a successful veterinary clinic. Whether the clinic is one that has been up and running for years or is having a grand opening, it needs the right tools for the job. Taking care of animals requires special instruments and these can be purchased for affordable prices. Pets and even farm animals are important parts of family life and they deserve the care and consideration of a full-fledged family member.
Giving proper care to animals requires veterinary instruments that are sanitized, functional, and serviceable. A veterinarian wants to be able to save money on their instruments without sacrificing quality. Quality tools include ultra sound machines, X-ray machines, monitors, oxygen, and so much more. A vet never knows when they may have to do surgery, put a leg in a cast, or remove something from the stomach of a dog that ate something he shouldn’t have.
These are all reasons why it is imperative that the right equipment be purchased the first time. If the right veterinary instruments are affordable, then a vet can have them available on site and ready to use should the need arise.
Many people rely on veterinarians to have the best instruments to help their pets no matter what is needed. A full orthopaedic kit is needed to fix a broken leg. Anaesthesia machines are needed to make an animal comfortable while surgery is going on. Many different types of kennels and cages are needed to house sick animals. These include oxygen cages where an animal can rest while pure oxygen is pumped in to help them heal. There is a lot more veterinary instruments that a professional needs to get the job done. An animal clinic needs to look for affordable supplies to keep their clinic up and running.
When a person becomes a veterinarian they do it to help animals. However, there is a business aspect to it that has to be respected. If a doctor over-pays for their equipment, they won’t have money for other things like electric bills, employees, or pet food. Running any business requires savvy spending and that includes buying all of the necessary veterinary instruments at discounted prices.
Make sure that your pet is well hydrated. Refill water bowls that your dog drinks from regularly. Unless specifically instructed by your veterinarian, your dog should never be denied access to water. You might also want to vary what it drinks. Milk is a good alternative. It will provide the necessary nutrients to initiate and maintain a healthy pregnancy. Milk provides calcium which will help in the healthy growth and development of the bones and the teeth of puppies.
Protein is important for a pregnant dog care dietary plan. While most dog food brands provide the essential nutrients, make sure you choose a brand that lists meat as a first ingredient. Meat by-product should be avoided as they are poor quality protein. For sufficient supply of protein, you can add a hard boiled egg to her daily diet.
During canine pregnancy, the quantity of food intake increases by the fifth week of pregnancy. So it is recommended that her food intake should increase by 20 percent.

When trying to decide whether or not to buy a used piece of equipment it is important to do some research about the equipment. When was it purchased? Have the current owners had any problems with the machine or does it require any repair? Perhaps most importantly is why are they selling the unit? Of course cost is always a large factor in any business decision. Used equipment can cost considerably less than brand new equipment and still function in a normal capacity. Some veterinarians like the extras that come along with purchasing new equipment such as customer support and a lengthy warranty.
It never hurts to ask if the seller will let you try out the product before you decide to buy it. This will give potential buyers an idea of what to expect when they use the machine and let them get an idea of whether or not it would be a fit for their business.
If you want to buy used bovine ultrasound machines at best prices, you can always count on us. We offer machines manufactured by some of the biggest names in the industry.
Not to forget the uses of ultrasound scanning in providing a picture of the unborn baby to pregnant mothers.

Sonograms are created by ultrasound machines which produce high frequency sound waves. These waves bounce on organs, tissues, veins, etc. creating echoes, which are turned into images by the machine and can be seen on monitors. Ultrasound machines are mostly used in cardiology, endocrinology and obstetrics etc. Different types of ultrasound machines are available in the market depending upon the usage. Few of them are:
Color Doppler ultrasound machines: These are used to produce color images, which are helpful in understanding the flow of blood. A 2D image is produced that depicts blood moving in veins and arteries. Development of fetus inside womb, flow of blood in cervical carotid arteries and vertebral arteries are measured with color doppler machines.
Portable ultrasound machines: These are used by doctors and veterinarians in situations where immediate diagnose is required as it is possible to take them anywhere. It is difficult to bring large animals into veterinary hospitals, but with the help of portable machines, they are checked on field.
Hand-held ultrasound machine: The biggest advantage with this version of ultrasound machine is mobility. Farmers and breeders use these machines to examine cattle, equine and bovine as it does not require a power cord. The image quality is good, though the size is small. It is mostly used for reproductive work.
