Vet Radiography and Ultrasound Geelong

At Geelong Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced radiography (X-rays) and ultrasound services to help diagnose and treat a variety of conditions in pets. Our state-of-the-art equipment, combined with our veterinarians’ expertise, ensures that your pet receives the most accurate and effective care.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is an excellent tool for examining soft tissues, including those in the abdomen and heart. If your pet’s condition involves internal organs or requires a closer look at the heart, an ultrasound scan may be recommended. Our hospital is equipped with the latest ultrasound technology, and we work with some of the best specialists to ensure a precise diagnosis.

 

Radiography (X-rays)

Radiographs are a crucial diagnostic tool, particularly for issues involving bones, the chest, or abdomen. If your pet is experiencing symptoms that suggest a bone fracture, joint disease, lung condition, or abdominal problem, X-rays are often the next step to pinpoint the underlying cause.

What happens to my pet when it is booked in for radiographs?

When your pet is scheduled for X-rays, we will first conduct a thorough physical examination and discuss their symptoms. Depending on the situation, we may need to sedate your pet to ensure they stay still during the imaging process, as movement can affect the clarity of the images. The procedure is generally quick, and we make sure your pet is comfortable throughout the process. Afterward, our veterinarians will review the X-rays to provide a detailed diagnosis and discuss the next steps in your pet’s treatment plan.

Both radiography and ultrasound play essential roles in diagnosing and managing your pet’s health conditions. If your pet requires either of these diagnostic tools, our experienced veterinarians will guide you through the process and ensure the best possible care.
