X-Rays for Cats
X-rays, also known as radiographs, are a cornerstone of veterinary diagnostics. They provide a 2-dimensional view of your cat’s internal structures, including bones, lungs, and organs.
Why Would My Cat Need an X-Ray?
X-rays are used to diagnose or monitor a variety of conditions, such as:
- Fractures or bone injuries
- Respiratory issues like asthma or pneumonia
- Foreign objects in the digestive tract
- Bladder stones
- Arthritis or spinal abnormalities
What to Expect During an X-Ray
X-rays are quick and painless. Your cat will be gently positioned to capture clear images, and in some cases, sedation may be needed to reduce stress or ensure accuracy. Our team takes every measure to keep your cat comfortable and calm during the process.
Ultrasounds for Cats
Ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your cat’s internal organs. Unlike x-rays, which provide a flat, 2-dimensional view, ultrasounds allow us to see inside organs in real time.
Echocardiograms for Cats
An echocardiogram is a specialized ultrasound used to assess the heart. This advanced diagnostic tool evaluates the structure and function of your cat’s heart, providing critical information for diagnosing and managing heart disease.
Why Would My Cat Need an Echocardiogram?
Why Would My Cat Need an Echocardiogram?

- Difficulty breathing
- Fainting episodes
- Lethargy or exercise intolerance
