Radiographs/ X-rays
X-rays are one of the most helpful, and frequently used tools in both human healthcare and veterinary healthcare. X-rays can help vets to get a view of your pet’s bones, tissues, and internal organs so that they can diagnose issues such as broken bones, bladder stones, swallowed foreign objects, and more.
X-rays are not hazardous for your dog and the diagnostic benefits that come from them far outweigh the limited exposure to radiation. If your dog is in pain or uncomfortable, it may be necessary to use sedation in order to get a clear image. Your veterinarian will consider the risk of sedation.
Sedation is sometimes required in order to get a clear x-ray. If your pet is calm, not in too much pain, and able to lay in a comfortable position while the x-ray is being taken, sedation will not be necessary. On the other hand, if your cat is squirmy, edgy, or in pain sedation will be recommended
X-ray images can help vets to spot some tumors, pregnancy, and enlarged organs which may lead to a diagnosis such as heart disease or cancer. X-ray technology is able to show an overall view of the dense internal workings of your pet but they will not provide a detailed view of your pet’s organs, tissues, or ligaments
