Diagnostics & Imaging FAQs
Pet owners often wonder when imaging is necessary, how certain tests work, and what information they provide. These FAQs explain the diagnostic services available at Animal Emergency Center of Bentonville and how they help veterinarians evaluate urgent or life-threatening conditions.
What diagnostic tests do you offer for pets?
Animal Emergency Center of Bentonville provides a full range of emergency diagnostics, including pet blood testing (CBC, chemistry, and cytology), urinalysis, fecal testing, digital animal X-rays, dog and cat ultrasound, endoscopy, and CT. These tools help our Bentonville veterinarians quickly identify internal injuries, obstructions, infections, and other urgent conditions.
When does my pet need X-rays or ultrasound imaging?
Imaging is recommended when pets show symptoms such as vomiting, difficulty breathing, limping, abdominal pain, trauma, or suspected ingestion of foreign objects. Digital radiology reveals bones, lungs, and abdominal structures, while vet ultrasound provides real-time views of soft tissues. Our team will determine the most appropriate test based on your pet’s symptoms.
What can endoscopy or CT detect in pets?
Pet endoscopy allows veterinarians to examine the esophagus, stomach, and intestines using a camera, helping diagnose inflammation, ulcers, or foreign bodies. CT provides highly detailed 3D images useful for evaluating complex internal injuries or conditions. At Animal Emergency Center of Bentonville, these advanced tools support accurate diagnosis during emergencies.
Will my pet need sedation for imaging?
Some imaging—such as X-rays of painful areas, ultrasound for anxious pets, CT scans, or endoscopy—may require sedation to keep your pet comfortable and still. Our Bentonville team uses safe, evidence-based anesthetic protocols and monitors your pet closely throughout the procedure for maximum safety.
How quickly will I receive diagnostic results?
Most results are available rapidly. Our in-house lab provides immediate bloodwork and cytology, while digital X-rays and ultrasound can be interpreted on-site. When needed, CT or endoscopy results are reviewed promptly to support swift decision-making during urgent or critical situations.
