About the service
A clearer view of your pet’s health
A digital X-ray allows our veterinary team to look beneath the surface and examine areas that cannot be fully assessed through a physical examination alone.
X-rays may be recommended when a pet has experienced an injury, is limping, has difficulty breathing, shows abdominal discomfort or may have swallowed a foreign object.
Your veterinarian will first examine your pet and explain why diagnostic imaging may be helpful. The images are then used with your pet’s symptoms and medical history to guide further investigation or treatment.
