Pets can sometimes have health problems that are invisible to the naked eye - at this time, X-ray is a "powerful assistant" to help doctors examine the inside of the baby's body without surgery or invasive procedures. Painless, no anesthesia required and only takes a few minutes, X-ray results can help detect and promptly treat health problems from mild to severe

So what will X-ray reveal about pet health?

Xray helps veterinarians make accurate diagnoses and treat in the right direction, especially in emergency cases or when pets do not show obvious symptoms such as:

_Detect bone and joint damage: Broken bones, cracked bones, dislocations, osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia (especially in large breeds such as Golden, Husky, Becgie).
_Check for foreign objects in the body: Quickly detect foreign objects that the baby has swallowed such as bones, toys, pins, stones, fabrics, etc. to handle them promptly, avoiding danger to life.

_Evaluate the heart and lungs: Detect abnormalities such as pleural effusion, pneumonia, enlarged heart, pulmonary edema or lung tumors.

_Examine the digestive system: Check the condition of the stomach, intestinal torsion, intestinal obstruction, or abdominal tumors.

_Follow up after surgery or treatment: Determine the location of bones after orthopedic surgery, evaluate recovery progress.

_Diagnose bladder stones, kidney stones: Help determine the size and location of stones
_Support the diagnosis of oral diseases: Determine damage to molars, tooth pulp, and alveolar bone loss - commonly found in older dogs and cats

When should you take your baby for an X-ray?

_Rapid breathing, coughing, unusual fatigue
_Vomiting, not eating, bloating
