Radiology (X-rays)

When assessing issues with your pet, we frequently utilize x-rays to help determine the underlying cause, eliminate potential concerns, or compile a list of possible diagnoses. X-rays may also be employed during routine wellness examinations to detect issues before they escalate into serious conditions.

X-rays yield crucial insights into a pet’s skeletal structure, digestive system (including stomach, intestines, and colon), respiratory system (lungs), cardiac health, and genitourinary system (such as the bladder and prostate). We may use radiology independently or alongside other diagnostic methods. The interpretation of x-ray images demands significant expertise from the veterinarian.

Our clinic offers digital radiology, which captures x-rays electronically rather than using traditional film. This advanced technology enables us to deliver a faster diagnosis for your pet and utilizes less radiation compared to conventional x-rays.

To ensure clear images, it is essential for pets to remain completely still during the x-ray process. In certain instances, we might need to sedate your pet or administer brief general anesthesia.

If you have any inquiries about our radiology services or what to anticipate during your pet’s procedure, please feel free to reach out.
