What Is An Echo? A Veterinary Cardiologist Explains.

Описание: Has your vet recommended an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) for your dog or cat? In this video, I explain what an 'echo' is, why it's used, and what you and your pet can expect during the procedure.

An echocardiogram is a safe, non-invasive scan that helps veterinarians diagnose heart conditions - from murmurs to congestive heart failure. I’ll walk you through:
✅ What an echocardiogram is and how it works
✅ Why your vet might recommend one
✅ What the procedure looks like for your pet
✅ Whether sedation is needed
✅ What kind of information the scan provides

This video is perfect for pet parents whose dog or cat has:

A newly diagnosed heart murmur
Signs of heart disease (coughing, fatigue, fast breathing)
A known condition like mitral valve disease or cardiomyopathy
