Radiology & Your Pet

Radiology, or an X-ray, is a type of diagnostic imaging that helps your veterinarian see beyond your pet’s fur to their internal systems. X-rays use a small dose of radiation to take still images of your pet’s bones and other dense tissues. Because radiology uses radiation to take these images, it is not suitable for use on delicate tissues or developing fetuses.

Radiology provides important information about your pet’s internal systems that may not be easily gleaned from a simple physical exam. X-rays can show more than what can be seen by the naked eye.

X-rays are totally non-invasive and pain free. Depending on your pet’s condition, we may or may not need to sedate them to get a clear picture. We want to make sure that your pet’s experience is as stress-free as possible.

How We Use Ultrasonography to Diagnose Your Pet’s Issue

Ultrasounds for pets are an invaluable tool for diagnosing a variety of health concerns. They work similarly to those used for humans, using high-frequency soundwaves to create real-time images of your pet’s soft tissues without the use of radiation. This makes ultrasounds particularly suitable for examining delicate tissues or monitoring developing fetuses.

While physical exams help identify areas that may require closer evaluation, ultrasounds can provide a more detailed view inside your pet. These procedures are non-invasive, pain-free, and typically do not require sedation.

At our practice, ultrasounds are performed by a board-certified traveling radiologist who visits on specific days of the month. This ensures your pet receives expert care, but it also means that ultrasounds are not available on demand. If an ultrasound is recommended for your pet, we will work with you to schedule the next available appointment with our radiologist.
