Veterinary Radiology (X-Rays)

Veterinary radiology, also known as animal X-rays, is one of the most effective tools for evaluating your pet’s bones, joints, chest, and abdomen. Digital X-rays provide fast, detailed images that help us detect issues such as:

  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Arthritis and joint disease
  • Heart and lung conditions
  • Swallowed foreign objects
  • Tumors or abnormal growths

At Florence Veterinary Hospital, we utilize modern digital radiology equipment that produces high-resolution images with minimal radiation exposure. This technology allows for quicker diagnosis, better image quality, and a more comfortable experience for your pet.

When Are Pet X-Rays Recommended?

X-rays may be recommended if your pet is limping, showing signs of pain, coughing, vomiting, or if we suspect internal injuries or disease. Because radiology is non-invasive and highly informative, it often plays a crucial role in early detection and treatment planning.

Pet Ultrasound

Ultrasound imaging offers a non-invasive, pain-free way to examine your pet’s internal organs in real-time. While x-rays provide a snapshot of your pet’s structure, ultrasound allows us to see how tissues and organs are functioning.

Pet ultrasound is especially useful for diagnosing conditions involving:

  • The heart (echocardiograms)
  • Liver, kidneys, and bladder
  • Gastrointestinal system
  • Abnormal fluid accumulation
  • Pregnancy monitoring

Our skilled veterinarians use ultrasound technology to gain valuable insights while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. We may recommend an ultrasound if bloodwork shows abnormalities or if your pet is experiencing symptoms that require a deeper look.

Why Imaging Matters for Your Pet’s Health

Veterinary imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing illness, identifying injuries, and monitoring chronic conditions. Without tools like X-rays and ultrasound, many internal issues could go undetected until they become more serious.

By catching problems early, we can:

  • Begin treatment sooner
  • Avoid unnecessary exploratory surgery
  • Reduce your pet’s discomfort
  • Improve long-term health outcomes

Our goal is to provide your pet with the best possible care, and diagnostic imaging helps us do just that.

If your pet is showing signs of illness or discomfort, or if you’re simply seeking a more complete picture of their health, we’re here to help.
