Pet X-ray imaging, also called pet radiography, has been used for decades to assist veterinarians in diagnosing various health concerns. We utilize digital pet X-rays, which provide faster results than traditional film X-rays. A huge benefit of X-rays is that they are pain-free and non-invasive, meaning that they can usually be performed without anesthesia, meaning no prep time or recovery for your pet.
What are pet X-rays used for? At Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital, we may perform X-rays on your pet if we suspect the following conditions:
The above list is not exhaustive, and our skilled veterinarians will suggest pet X-rays for your four-legged friend if they believe radiography will help reach the correct diagnosis.
Digital Pet X-Rays to the Rescue
Digital pet X-rays are one of our most valuable diagnostic tools at Sweet Home Veterinary Hospital for many reasons. Firstly, X-ray images are accurate and provide detailed information about your pet’s internal structure that your veterinarian could not know without X-ray vision. Secondly, pet X-rays are non-invasive and pain-free. We do not want to sedate your pet if we don’t have to, and we know that you don’t want that either. Obtaining X-rays rarely requires any sedation. Pet X-rays are also very versatile, so they can help diagnose health concerns from orthopedic injuries to gastrointestinal issues. Finally, radiography takes a very brief amount of time, meaning that your veterinarian can see the results immediately and start building a treatment plan for your pet. X-rays are one of the best veterinary tools around for all these reasons and more!
