Digital Pet X-Ray

Digital X-ray, also known as digital radiology, is a technology used to capture detailed, high-quality images in minutes. Our veterinarians utilize this advanced tool to confirm pregnancies, count the number of puppies or kittens, examine internal organs, and assess various injuries. Digital pet X-rays are significantly faster than traditional radiology, allowing us to manipulate images to better understand what’s happening inside your pet’s body.

One key advantage of digital pet X-rays is the minimal radiation exposure, making them a safe option for your pet. Getting an X-ray takes just a few minutes and does not cause any discomfort or pain for your pet. This quick and efficient diagnostic tool helps us diagnose issues promptly, enabling us to start the appropriate treatment right away.

Is a digital X-ray safe for my pet?

Yes, digital radiology is safe for pets. A pet X-ray involves minimal radiation exposure, making it a safer alternative to traditional radiology. The process is quick and painless for your pet.

 

Does my pet need to be sedated for a digital X-ray?

In most cases, sedation is not necessary for a digital X-ray. However, if your pet is highly anxious or in significant pain, sedation may be used to ensure clear images and your pet’s comfort during the procedure.

 

Can I be with my pet during their X-ray?

For safety reasons, pet parents cannot be in the room during the X-ray. You can trust that our team will care for your pet like one of our own furry friends throughout the process.

 

How long does it take to get results from a pet X-ray?

The results from a digital X-ray are available almost immediately. This fast turnaround allows our veterinarians to quickly diagnose the issue and discuss the next steps with you. If the X-ray results need to be sent to a specialist, getting a diagnosis will take a little longer. Our veterinary team will reach out to you as soon as we have the specialist’s feedback.
