About this service
X-rays help evaluate bones and joints, as well as some structures in the chest and abdomen. They complement the clinical exam: the veterinarian interprets the images together with other findings.
Your vet decides whether a radiographic study is appropriate for your pet and will explain how it will be performed.
When should you see the vet?
- Limping or pain when moving.
- After a blow or a fall.
- Coughing or changes in breathing.
- Suspicion that your pet swallowed an object.
