Vet for Pet Radiology & X-Rays in Kent, WA
Our vet technicians use radiology as a method and diagnostic tool to take a fully non-invasive look inside the body of your dog or cat.
Radiology
At Reber Ranch Veterinary Hospital, when we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use X-rays to help identify the cause of the problem, rule out possible problems or provide a list of possible causes. We may also use X-rays during a wellness exam to diagnose potential problems before they become serious as a part of preventative medical services for your pet.
X-rays provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate). We use radiology alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. Interpretation of radiographs requires great skill on the part of the veterinarian.
At Reber Ranch we are proud to offer digital radiology (X-rays that are captured digitally rather than on film). This state-of-the-art technology allows us to provide you with a quicker diagnosis for your pet. Plus, it uses less radiation than traditional X-rays. To avoid a blurry image, pets need to remain completely still while an X-ray is taken. In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia. If you have any questions about our radiology service or what to expect during your pet’s procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask. Contact our team to talk further about radiology and X-ray services for your cat or dog. Our vet is located in Kent, WA, easily accessible from Enumclaw, Black Diamond, Covington, Auburn, Federal Way and beyond.
