Veterinary ultrasound resources for small animal vets

The veterinary ultrasound guide for beginners and the foundation every experienced vet needs.

Before you can spot an abnormality, you need to know what normal looks like. Guide 1 walks you through a complete veterinary ultrasound examination procedure, covering probe positioning, expected appearances for every major abdominal structure and the veterinary ultrasound basics most vets were never properly taught.

Inside Guide 1:

• 96 pages covering normal canine and feline abdominal ultrasound findings
• 100+ images of normal ultrasound appearances including variations of normal, so you know what you’re actually comparing against
• A step-by-step approach to examining every major abdominal organ, with tips for finding each one every time
• Pro tips and clinical pearls from a vet who has performed hands-on small animal ultrasound thousands of times in real practice
• Clickable table of contents so you can jump straight to what you need mid-scan
• Bonus: a five-page ultrasound-guided cystocentesis guide with troubleshooting tips included at no extra cost

What changes: You finish Guide 1 knowing exactly what every major abdominal organ should look like on screen. That reliable baseline changes how you approach every scan from that point forward.

When something looks off and you’re not sure why, you need Guide 2.

Guide 2 takes you further into veterinary diagnostic imaging, covering the abnormalities you’ll encounter in practice rather than the ones that show up in textbooks.

Like Guide 1, this is the anti-textbook approach, with step-by-step instructions written in a practical, conversational style. Each chapter covers abnormalities, a differentials list and next-step suggestions so you’re never left with a finding and no idea what to do about it.

Inside Guide 2:

• 114 pages covering abnormal canine and feline abdominal ultrasound findings
• 100+ images of abnormal ultrasound findings to compare directly against your own scans
• Abnormal findings across every major abdominal organ with real clinical images
• Guidance on diagnostic imaging of the pancreas and adrenal glands in veterinary practice
• Gastrointestinal ultrasonography, including GI wall ultrasonography and measuring wall layers
• A differentials list and next-step suggestions for every chapter; cytology, histopathology, radiographs and more
• Pro tips and clinical pearls from a real veterinary ultrasonographer 
• Clickable table of contents so you can jump straight to the organ or finding you need

You’ll also learn to:

• Interpret echogenicity changes and understand what they mean clinically
• Determine when a finding is clinically significant versus incidental
• Differentiate between normal variants and true pathology
• Interpret free fluid, gas and mass-like lesions with context and clarity
• Build structured differentials confidently and know when to recommend further testing

What changes: You finish Guide 2 with a framework for interpreting what you are seeing and a clearer sense of when to act, when to monitor and when to refer.

Everything you need to scan smarter, work faster and feel more prepared in one download.

This is not a guide. It’s a collection of twelve practical reference tools, checklists and quick-reference resources designed to make your day-to-day veterinary ultrasound workflow faster, more consistent and less frustrating.

What’s included:

• Image quality tips, scanning protocols and measurement references
• A single-page findings summary most vets laminate and keep by their veterinary ultrasound machine
• A client handout that prepares owners before they arrive
• An ultrasound-guided cystocentesis guide with step-by-step technique
• A glossary, training checklist, troubleshooting guide and artifacts table
• The viral “11 Organs to Find on Every Scan” diagram

What changes: Twelve friction points removed from your scanning day. Better images, a consistent protocol, faster reporting and fewer surprises in the consult room.

The adrenal glands are small, tucked away and easy to miss. They’re also clinically significant enough that finding them consistently changes how you practise. 

This guide gives you the technique to locate them reliably and the knowledge to understand what you’re looking at when you do. Built on eVet’s proprietary LADR and RADR protocols, it gives you a clear, acronym-based system for locating both adrenal glands reliably in any patient.

Inside the Adrenal Guide:

• Our step-by-step LADR and RADR systems for finding both adrenal glands reliably
• Exactly where to find the adrenal glands in dogs and cats with clear diagrams and step-by-step technique
• Normal versus abnormal adrenal appearances and what the differences mean clinically
• What to do next based on what you find

What changes: The adrenal glands stop being the structure you avoid. You’ll have a reliable, repeatable technique for both glands, a clear sense of what normal and abnormal looks like and a framework for what to do when something doesn’t look right.

The scan is done. The findings are in your head. This template gets them onto the page.

A pre-structured veterinary abdominal ultrasound report covering every major organ and system, two fully completed example reports and accompanying images showing exactly how to describe findings and frame recommendations.

What it does:

• Removes the blank-page problem with a ready-to-go reporting structure
• Keeps your documentation consistent across every scan and every clinician
• Shows you exactly what a clear, professional report looks like with two real case examples included

Some things are easier to learn when you can see them. Most veterinary ultrasound videos mean well, but the angles rarely show you what you actually need to see: the probe position, the hand movements and the small adjustments that make the biggest difference.

eVet Academy masterclasses cover:

• Probe movement and the subtle hand adjustments that change everything
• How to adapt your approach for different patient positions: lateral, dorsal and everything in between
• Interpretation of findings demonstrated on screen as they appear in real clinical scans
• The hands-on small animal ultrasound training that’s difficult to convey on the page and instantly obvious when demonstrated
• Professionally filmed footage that shows you where the probe is, how it’s moving and what you should be seeing at every step

The RACE-approved adrenal gland masterclass is available now to take you from uncertainty to a reliable, repeatable technique. On demand, yours to keep and watch as many times as you need.

Ultrasound is a skill that builds through repetition, consistency and shared learning. The eVet Academy community is a space for small animal vets who are doing the work and don’t want to do it alone.

What’s inside:

• Case discussion – bring your tricky findings and work through them with vets who understand the clinical context
• Shared learning – benefit from the experience of a community working through the same challenges you are
• A growing resource library – masterclasses, practical tools and veterinary ultrasound references all in one place

The community is coming soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first in and help shape what it becomes.
