Benefits of Radiographs
at South Shores Animal Hospital
Radiographs offer a range of benefits in diagnosing and treating your pet’s health issues. Here’s how our pet imaging services can benefit your pet’s care:
Quick and Non-Invasive
Radiographs provide immediate results, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment without discomfort to your pet.
Comprehensive Views
X-rays offer a detailed look at internal structures, including bones, organs, and tissues, helping to detect hidden issues.
Early Detection
By identifying problems early on, such as tumors, blockages, or fractures, we can begin treatment sooner, improving your pet’s chances for recovery.
Versatility
Whether it’s assessing dental health or identifying soft tissue injuries, radiology offers flexibility in diagnosing a wide range of conditions.
What to Expect During a Pet Radiograph
Our team at South Shores Animal Hospital ensures that your pet’s radiograph experience is safe and stress-free. In most cases, pets remain calm during the procedure. However, if your pet is anxious or in pain, we may use mild sedation to help them stay still for clear images. Our veterinarians will discuss sedation options with you if necessary. After the radiograph is completed, our veterinary team will review the images, explain the results, and consult on any next steps. For a more comprehensive evaluation, your pet’s veterinarian may recommend having the radiographs reviewed by a board-certified radiologist to provide additional insights into the diagnosis. If any issues are identified, we’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs.
Pet Ultrasound at South Shores Animal Hospital
A key tool in our diagnostics suite, pet ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure that allows us to examine your pet’s internal organs in detail. Ultrasound imaging provides valuable insights into your pet’s health by using sound waves to capture images of soft tissues, making it an essential diagnostic tool for various conditions.
What Is Pet Ultrasound?
Pet ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure used to get detailed images of your pet’s internal organs, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and bladder. It works by sending sound waves into the body, which bounce off internal structures and create a live image of the organs. This method helps us assess and diagnose a range of medical issues without the need for surgery or other invasive techniques. Ultrasound is often used to evaluate heart conditions, check for tumors or masses, monitor pregnancy, and assess organ function.
