What Digital X-Rays Show
Digital X-rays are a non-invasive imaging tool that allows veterinarians to examine bones, joints, organs, and other internal structures. They provide high-resolution images quickly, making them an important part of timely diagnosis and treatment planning.
When Pets May Need X-Rays
Your pet may benefit from X-rays if they are limping, showing signs of pain, coughing, vomiting, having digestive problems, or recovering from trauma. Imaging can also help identify fractures, foreign body ingestion, heart and lung concerns, and abdominal abnormalities.
