Pet Radiographs in Ottumwa, IA
X-rays are a valuable tool in veterinary medicine which is why Family Animal Care offers radiography as a tool to look inside the pet’s body to reveal information that cannot be determined from the outside.
X-rays are a safe and painless method not only used to evaluate the size, shape, and position of pets’ bones, but also organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs. This can be especially useful when it comes to diagnosing conditions such as kidney, heart, or liver disease, intestinal blockage, and even cancer.
Radiography can also be used to diagnose bladder stones, broken bones, chronic arthritis, certain spinal cord diseases, and a variety of other conditions. There is no need to worry about the level of radiation your pet will be exposed to. In fact, the level of radiation exposure is so low that even pregnant females and young pets can have x-rays taken.
Our staff is professionally trained in radiology services, and always performs them with the utmost care and compassion. Radiographs are such an important tool that allows us to make a correct diagnosis for your pet, so you as the owner can make the best decision possible.
