Why might your pet need an X-Ray?

When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use x-rays to help identify the cause of the problem, rule out possible problems or provide a list of possible causes.

X-rays are a non-invasive way to look at, rule out, and diagnose possible conditions your pet is facing. Conditions include (but are not limited to: fractures, spinal problems, bladder stones, and cancer.

X-rays are safe for your pets. Sometimes, they are conducted when your pet is under a light sedative or anaesthetic should your pet be nervous or have to lie in an awkward position for a time. 

If you have any questions about our radiology service or what to expect during your pet’s procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask.
