Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging Options at Lost Dog Vet
Veterinary diagnostic imaging offers a non-invasive option to get a glimpse of your pet’s organs, tissues, bones, joints, and other internal structures to diagnose a range of health concerns. Our imaging tools are completely pain-free, requiring no anesthesia. However, at times, an overly anxious cat or dog may need sedation to remain still and allow us to capture the needed images. At Lost Dog Vet, we offer digital radiography and ultrasound imaging to enhance your pet’s care.
Whole-Body Digital Radiographs
X-ray imaging has been used for decades to diagnose problems in humans and pets alike. At Lost Dog Vet, we use state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology to capture intricate images of your pet’s skeletal structure and diagnose a range of concerns, such as bone fractures, foreign body obstructions, congestive heart failure, fluid accumulation, and more. We are also able to monitor recovery, see how fractures heal, or evaluate how treatments work over time. Today’s digital imaging technology minimizes radiation exposure, providing a safer option for your cat or dog.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your furry friend’s internal structures. It allows us to evaluate your pet’s organs and blood flow, uncovering a host of health concerns. At Lost Dog Vet, we offer FAST and abdominal ultrasound scans.
FAST Ultrasound Scans: FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) offer an invaluable diagnostic tool during pet emergencies. We use this type of diagnostic imaging to evaluate critical conditions like internal bleeding or fluid accumulation around the heart or lungs. FAST scans can also help identify tumors or masses requiring attention or further investigation, ensuring prompt and targeted treatment.
Abdominal Ultrasound Scans: Abdominal ultrasounds focus specifically on the abdomen, evaluating organs like the kidneys, liver, and intestines. We use a small hand-held probe that we gently press against your pet’s abdominal area to capture real-time images, allowing us to uncover problems like organ abnormalities, blood vessel rupture, fluid in the abdomen, and so much more. The wealth of diagnostic information helps us create customized treatment plans tailored to your furry companion’s unique needs.
