Ultrasound diagnostic capability is highly dependent on the quality of the machine and our pet owners can be assured that at our ultrasound machine at Erina Heights Vet Hospital is ‘top shelf’ for better diagnosis and treatment.

For breeders, we are able to perform pregnancy ultrasound on female dogs from 4 weeks after mating, to detect pregnancy, assess puppy viability and check for abnormal conditions such as pyometra.

Our veterinarians are highly competent in performing ultrasound on pets. Dr Jesse Hughes holds additional postgraduate qualifications in ultrasound, having recently completed a Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Abdominal Ultrasound from Melbourne University. Dr Melissa Kozaruk and Dr Michelle Blake are also currently studying this qualification.
