Welcome to Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital, where our experienced veterinary team provides precise and gentle ultrasound guided cystocentesis for pets in Cincinnati and surrounding communities.
Ultrasound guided cystocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect a sterile urine sample directly from your pet’s bladder. Using ultrasound imaging, our veterinarians can accurately guide a fine needle into the bladder, ensuring safety and comfort for your pet. This advanced technique is crucial for diagnosing urinary tract infections, bladder stones, crystals, or other urinary issues.
Unlike traditional free-catch or manual expression urine collection methods, ultrasound guidance allows us to avoid contamination and provides the most reliable sample for laboratory analysis. Accurate diagnosis leads to more effective treatment for your pet’s urinary health concerns. Whether your pet is showing signs of urinary problems or your veterinarian recommends routine screening, ultrasound guided cystocentesis delivers fast, dependable results and peace of mind for pet owners.

Our veterinary team at Tennessee Avenue Animal Hospital follows a careful, compassionate approach to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
First, our veterinarians will review your pet’s medical history and discuss any symptoms you’ve noticed. A gentle physical examination and an initial ultrasound scan help us evaluate the bladder and determine if cystocentesis is appropriate.
Your pet will be gently positioned on a padded table. The area over the bladder may be shaved and cleaned to ensure a clear ultrasound image and a sterile field. Most pets tolerate the procedure well without sedation, but we always prioritize your pet’s comfort.
Using advanced ultrasound technology, our veterinary professionals carefully visualize the bladder in real-time. A sterile needle is precisely guided into the bladder to collect a urine sample, minimizing risk and discomfort.
After collection, your pet’s urine sample is sent to our in-house laboratory for rapid analysis. Results are reviewed promptly, and our team will discuss the findings and recommended treatment options with you, keeping you informed every step of the way.
