Radiology
Our x-ray facilities allow us to investigate animal injuries and health problems before treatment, as well as to monitor progress. Having equipment on-site means we are able to quickly diagnose injuries, particularly in emergency situations. This is convenient for you as your pet can have all treatment done at the hospital and also means our patients are given the best opportunity for recovery.
Our digital x-ray developer is fast and intelligent, providing quick results and detailed images. We are also equipped with a dental x-ray unit. This equipment enables us to view what is happening beneath the gum line, and have a much clearer indication for issues such as tooth root abscesses, fractured teeth, tumours and broken roots.
Radiology
Radiology is the process of taking xrays and ultrasonography uses sound waves to assess the body. By using these techniques we are able to look inside the body and as such, help with the diagnosis of the problem. Each modality has its own advantages and disadvantages and we will often combine both practices to give us a complete picture of what is going on.
Radiology is especially useful when looking for problems with the bones or assessing lung or heart disease. We also use abdominal radiographs to look for foreign bodies or stones in the bladder.
