Marble Hill (Foothills), GA
Advanced Pet Diagnostics
At Wayside Animal Hospital’s Marble Hill (Foothills) location, we provide advanced diagnostic services, including ultrasound and echocardiograms for dogs and cats. These non-invasive imaging tools allow our veterinarians to evaluate internal organs and heart health with precision, helping us diagnose conditions early and provide the best possible care for pets in Marble Hill (Foothills) and surrounding North Georgia communities.
Veterinary Ultrasound Services
Ultrasound is a safe and painless diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to create images of your pet’s internal organs. Our team uses ultrasound to assess:
- Abdominal health, including the liver, kidneys, bladder, and intestines
- Reproductive evaluations and pregnancy confirmation
- Soft tissue structures that may not be visible on X-rays
- Masses, fluid buildup, or internal injuries
Ultrasound allows our veterinarians to quickly gather detailed information, guiding treatment plans without the need for invasive procedures.
Echocardiogram for Pet Heart Health
Our Marble Hill (Foothills) location also provides echocardiograms — ultrasound imaging of the heart — to evaluate cardiac function in dogs and cats. These exams help diagnose:
- Heart murmurs and valve disease
- Congenital heart conditions
- Cardiomyopathy and other heart muscle disorders
- Fluid buildup around the heart or lungs
An echocardiogram provides real-time imaging that helps our veterinarians develop tailored treatment and monitoring plans, often in collaboration with veterinary cardiology specialists.
Why Advanced Diagnostics Matter
Early and accurate diagnosis is key to improving outcomes for pets. By offering advanced imaging at our Marble Hill (Foothills) location, we give families local access to tools that previously required referral visits. This saves time and reduces stress for pets while supporting more informed medical decisions.
