When your pet is injured or has unusual symptoms, we want to find out what is happening
Radiology can be a helpful diagnostic.
How Veterinary Radiography Works
Pet radiographs are especially helpful in identifying issues that may not be immediately obvious from the outside.
Determining When Your Pet Needs an X-Ray
- Signs of injury, such as limping, swelling, or reluctance to move
- Persistent coughing, breathing difficulties, or chest pain
- Abdominal discomfort, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss
- Suspected broken bones or fractures
- Detection of foreign objects that your pet may have swallowed
- Concerns about dental health, such as cracked or damaged teeth
Your Pet’s X-ray: What to Expect
At PetSmart Veterinary Services: Springfield, we perform pet X-rays on-site so your four-legged companion can receive the care they need without delay. In most cases, X-rays do not require sedation, meaning your pet will remain awake and alert during the procedure. We take special precautions for your pet’s comfort and safety while obtaining clear, accurate images.
For your safety, you will not be able to be present in the room during the X-ray procedure due to the use of radiation. However, rest assured that we’ll bring your pet right back to you immediately afterward. Once the X-rays are complete, our veterinarian will review the images and discuss the results with you, explaining any findings and the next steps for treatment.
