Ultrasound and X-Rays

Have you ever wondered how veterinarians diagnose health issues beyond your pet's fur? Ultrasounds and X-rays can reveal your pet's internal anatomy. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of soft tissues and organs, while X-rays uncover the structures of bones and organs, revealing potential fractures or underlying conditions.  

How do ultrasound and X-rays assist in detecting hidden health issues?

Ultrasound and X-rays play a crucial role in diagnosing various health conditions. X-rays reveal bone fractures, joint problems, and assess the heart and lungs. Ultrasound evaluates internal organs and detects issues like tumors, cysts, or fluid accumulation. These tools provide insights that allow veterinarians to create tailored treatment plan. 

Are ultrasounds and X-rays safe for my pet? 

Both ultrasound and X-rays are safe for pets. X-rays involve minimal radiation, and precautions are taken to reduce risks. Ultrasound is non-invasive and painless. Your pet will be carefully positioned during these procedures to ensure their comfort and safety. 

Do pets need to be sedated for ultrasounds or X-rays?

We prioritize your pet's comfort and safety. For procedures such as X-rays and ultrasounds, we may sedate your pet, provided their health allows it. This ensures high-quality imaging while keeping your pet calm and stress-free during the process.
