At the Animal Hospital of Bowmanville, we are committed to providing comprehensive diagnostic services to ensure the health and well-being of your pets. Our advanced pet X-ray services play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions accurately and efficiently.

What is a Pet X-Ray?:

A pet X-ray, also known as radiography, is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses electromagnetic radiation to create detailed images of the internal structures of your pet's body. These images help veterinarians examine bones, organs, and tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of a wide range of health issues.

When is a Pet X-Ray Needed?

X-rays are invaluable in diagnosing numerous conditions and are often used in the following scenarios: Bone Fractures: Identifying and assessing the extent of broken bones. Joint Issues: Diagnosing arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint problems. Foreign Objects: Detecting swallowed objects or foreign materials in the digestive tract. Organ Assessment: Evaluating the size, shape, and position of organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Dental Health: Assessing dental issues, including tooth root problems and periodontal disease. Respiratory Problems: Diagnosing conditions like pneumonia, tumors, or other lung issues.
