Pet Radiology (X-rays)
When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use X-rays to help identify the cause and develop effective treatments.
Pet Radiology and Ultrasound
X-rays provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate). We use radiology alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. Interpretation of radiographs requires great skill on the part of the veterinarian.
We offer digital radiology (X-rays that are captured digitally rather than on film). This technology allows us to provide you with a quicker diagnosis for your pet. Plus, it uses less radiation than traditional X-rays.
Our team often uses X-rays to diagnose specific any specific issues your pet may be experiencing. We may also use X-rays during a wellness exam to diagnose potential problems before they become serious.
X-Ray Options for Your Pet’s Comfort
To gain a clear image, pets need to remain completely still while an X-ray is taken. In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia.
If you have any questions about our radiology service or what to expect during your pet’s procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask.
