In-House Veterinary Laboratory

Top-Notch Veterinary Care for Your Furry Friend

X-ray technology allows us to capture images of bones and internal organs. Digital x-rays provide exceptional detail and versatility. The vet has many uses for an x-ray, including: checking for suspected injuries from a trauma; evaluating a broken bone, or locating a foreign object that a patient may have swallowed.

Radiographs are very safe and can usually be taken with your pet lying still on an X-ray table. However, if a patient is in pain or just doesn't like sitting still, sedation may be needed in order to correctly capture the necessary images.
