- Animal X-rays allow veterinarians to view your pet’s bones, joints and chest structures, allowing them to more effectively. diagnose fractures, arthritis, or lung conditions.
- An animal ultrasound provides detailed images of soft tissues and internal organs. This assists in the detection of issues affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, or abdomen.

- Joint Issues: X-rays can reveal changes in joint structure, such as swelling, degeneration, or abnormal bone growth linked to arthritis.
