Chest X-rays are usually the first step for a cough, labored breathing, or a mass found on exam. Sometimes they show a problem clearly. Often they show a shadow that needs a closer look. 🫁

Thoracic ultrasound evaluates what X-rays struggle to separate: fluid around the lungs, masses against the chest wall, the area between the lungs called the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. Air-filled lung blocks ultrasound, so this study works alongside X-rays rather than replacing them.

When fluid or a mass is found, it can also guide sampling or drainage on the spot. Please note this is a non-cardiac study — heart evaluations are a separate appointment with a cardiologist.

Slowing down, sleeping more, a little thinner than last year. It’s easy to file all of that under age. Sometimes that’s exactly what it is. 🤍

But a lot of what we diagnose in older dogs and cats starts out looking like ordinary aging: kidney changes, liver disease, endocrine problems, abdominal masses. Many of them are far more manageable when they’re caught early, and far harder once they’re obvious.

If your senior pet has changed in a way you can’t quite explain, that’s reason enough to look. You can book an appointment with us directly.

Results in hand, but not sure what they mean? We can help, without you ever leaving the house. 🏡

Introducing our Telemedicine Results Review. Sit down virtually with Dr. Pedro Armstrong, our board-certified internist (DACVIM), and go over your pet’s results together: what they mean, what we’re watching for, and what comes next.

✔️ Specialist-level answers from a board-certified internist
✔️ Time to ask every question on your list
✔️ No car ride and no waiting room, which is easier on pets who don’t love the trip

Call us at (305) 677-2015 to book your review. ¡Hablamos español!

Ultrasound isn’t like a photograph you take now and study later. The most important decisions happen during the scan — which angle to try next, which structure deserves a closer look, whether that shadow is normal or worth sampling. 🩺

That’s why every scan at VIMG is performed and interpreted by Dr. Armstrong himself, a board-certified specialist in small animal internal medicine. He isn’t just capturing images for someone else to review. He’s looking for the answer while your pet is on the table, and adjusting as he goes.

For you, that means fewer repeat visits, fewer inconclusive reports, and one person who understands both the images and the medicine behind them.

This is the study most of our patients come in for, and the one we’re proudest of. 🐾

In a single appointment Dr. Armstrong evaluates the liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder, pancreas, stomach, intestines, and lymph nodes — the places where vomiting, weight loss, abnormal bloodwork, and unexplained pain usually turn out to start.

Most abdominal scans don’t require sedation, because you’re sitting right beside your pet the entire time. And because a board-certified internist is performing and interpreting the scan himself, you hear what he’s seeing while he’s seeing it, and you leave with a plan rather than a waiting period.

Pet parents can book this directly at either pop-up location.

When people think about cancer in pets, they picture a bump on the skin. Those matter, and they deserve to be checked. But many of the cases we see never show on the outside at all. 🎗️

A mass on the spleen. A change in the liver. Lymph nodes deep in the abdomen that have quietly enlarged. The first sign is often vague — a pet who’s a little slower, eating a little less, or losing weight nobody can explain.

Ultrasound lets us see those organs directly, and if something’s there, an ultrasound-guided aspirate can often tell us what it is without surgery. Early answers mean more options.

If something feels off, you don’t need to wait for a referral to find out.

We’re a weekday specialty practice — Monday through Friday, by appointment — and Halloween lands on a Saturday this year. So the most useful thing we can tell you today: put your nearest 24-hour emergency hospital in your contacts right now, before you need it. 🎃

Then the easy part. A back room with the door closed, water, something that smells like you, and the TV loud enough to blur the doorbell. Chocolate, xylitol gum, and raisins well out of reach. Costumes only if your pet genuinely doesn’t mind, and nothing tight around the neck.

We’ll be back Monday. Kendall and Bird Rd, same as always.

Dogs complain. Cats adjust their behavior very slightly and count on you not noticing. 🐈

A cat losing weight while eating normally. A cat vomiting once a week that everybody calls “just hairballs.” A cat sleeping somewhere new, or drinking more, or grooming less. Those are the ones that turn out to be intestinal disease, pancreatitis, kidney changes, or something in the abdomen we can see.

Cats are a big part of why abdominal ultrasound matters so much in feline medicine — a lot of what goes wrong with them lives in the belly and shows up nowhere else until late.

If something about your cat has felt off and you’re tired of wait-and-see, you can book with us directly. Kendall pop-up clinics run Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Every year, right after the 31st, our calls change. Something got eaten. 🎃

Wrappers are the classic, but it’s also ribbon, the felt ear off a costume, a chunk of a plastic pumpkin, and — without fail, every single year — corn cobs. Some of it passes. Some of it lodges in the intestine, and that pet stops eating, vomits repeatedly, and gets very sick very quickly.

If your pet ate something and is vomiting or off food, that’s your veterinarian or the ER today, not a wait-and-see. Ultrasound is often how an obstruction gets confirmed and located before surgery — but the first call is the emergency call.

Keep the candy bowl somewhere with a door. 🍬

This is the happiest appointment on our schedule and we will take it every time. 🐶

Ultrasound confirms pregnancy in dogs and cats safely — no radiation, no sedation — usually around two to three weeks after a suspected mating. Dr. Armstrong can assess viability, see how things are developing, and flag the situations worth watching early. A singleton pregnancy, for one, can complicate delivery in a way you’d much rather know about in advance than at 2 a.m.

Call us yourself, no referral required. You get the answer during the appointment — not on a callback — and you’ll be standing right there for it.
