In-house radiography
Radiographs (x-rays) are commonly used to provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate).
When conducting in-house radiography, our team may use sedation (not general anesthesia) to minimize stress, protect staff, and provide the best quality images.
Radiographs can be used alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools to provide a list of possible causes for a pet’s condition, identify the exact cause of a problem or rule out possible problems.
Off-site and in-house abdominal ultrasound and echocardiogram
We offer in-house abdominal ultrasounds as well as echocardiography. An abdominal ultrasound is a non-invasive way to take a closer look at the internal organs in the abdomen. While an X-ray will take a single image of all structures overlying one another, ultrasound allows us to look at each organ’s architecture individually. With ultrasound, we can evaluate the liver, gallbladder, spleen, adrenal glands, pancreas, stomach, intestines, kidneys, bladder, and more in a detailed way. For a sick pet, this can help us determine what might be making your pet feel ill and give us clues as to whether the problem is inflammatory, infectious, or cancerous.
