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.
