Imaging

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.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a great non-invasive diagnostic tool.  Ultrasound is used to help diagnose diseases of the kidneys, liver, spleen, bladder, and more.  It is also a sensitive way to evaluate pregnancies.  Conditions that can be evaluated by ultrasound include tumors, bladder stones, organ abnormalities, and more.  Our veterinarians have undergone specialized training to be able to offer this diagnostic tool for your pet while you are at our hospital - giving you convenience and great medicine

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.
