Digital Radiographs (X-Rays)
Pacific Paws offers high quality pet radiology imaging services.
We may recommend that you have your dog or cat receive digital radiographs for one of several reasons:
- To assess your pet’s dental health and to check the integrity of teeth and jaw bones.
- To check for bone fractures, joint dislocations, and other injuries related to blunt or high-force trauma (e.g., car accident).
- To visualize and/or confirm the presence of an ingested foreign object
- To rule in or out the presence of certain health conditions, including bone tumors
Ultrasound
Our pets often get into things they shouldn’t or develop health issues such as cysts or tumors that require treatment. Ultrasounds are a form of imaging technology that transmits sound waves into your pet’s body to produce a ‘picture’ of a specific part of the body.
Ultrasounds look at a pet’s organs and allow veterinarians to locate, assess, and diagnose pregnancy, blockages, or other internal events. Ultrasounds can pick up information in greater detail and accuracy than x-rays.
