Digital Radiology (X-Ray) Digital X-Ray, along with
diagnostic testing, allows us a more complex look at your pet's health.
We offer the latest x-ray technology - digital x-ray. Besides the
improved environmental impacts of not using film and the chemicals required
to develop x-ray films, digital x-ray also allows us many diagnostic
advantages. With digital x-ray, our doctors may enlarge images and
adjust contrasts to better diagnose from the x-ray. Additionally,
digital x-ray allows us to e-mail x-ray images to specialists for faster
consultations allowing us to begin treatment more quickly. Our digital
dental x-ray allows more complete dental care for your pet.

Video Otoscopy Video otoscopy allows you to see what the doctor sees during a thorough ear
examination, and also magnifies that image for the veterinarian. It is
used to diagnose ear infections, foreign bodies (foxtails, grass awns,
etc.), mites, etc. The magnification provides better ear canal
visualization improving diagnostic capability, and at the same time
providing client education. Scratching at ears, foul smelling ears,
and shaking the head are all signs of an ear infection, and an exam is
recommended. Please let us know if you would like more information
about video otoscopy.
