Radiology (X-Ray)

At Anza Animal Clinic, we utilize radiology (X-ray) technology to gain valuable insights into your pet’s health. X-rays are a non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to view your pet’s bones, organs, and internal structures, helping us identify health concerns quickly and accurately.

When Might We Recommend an X-Ray?

X-rays may be recommended in various situations, including:

• Injury or Trauma: To assess fractures, dislocations, or internal damage after an accident or fall.
• Digestive Concerns: To detect foreign objects, blockages, or abnormalities in the stomach or intestines.
• Respiratory Issues: To evaluate the lungs and chest for signs of pneumonia, heart disease, or tumors.
• Orthopedic Concerns: To diagnose joint or bone conditions such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, or bone tumors.
• Dental Health: To assess underlying dental or jaw concerns that aren’t visible during a routine exam.

The Importance of Diagnostics

Accurate diagnostics are crucial in understanding your pet’s health concerns. X-rays provide our veterinary team with detailed information that helps us create an effective treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs. Early and precise detection of issues can often lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life for your furry companion.
