Imaging

Our hospital is fully equipped to take digital radiographs (X-rays) for your Pet. Radiographs are a very important tool to help us diagnose issues with your pet most commonly involving the bones, chest and abdomen. Often to help with image quality most pets are sedated or have a general anaesthesia and like surgery or desexing will need to be fasted prior to this procedure.

At Greater Whitsunday Vet Services, we currently have the latest ultrasound technology. Ultrasound is used predominantly to look at soft or fluid filled organs, like the liver, kidneys, bladder, heart, intestines, and spleen. Like radiographs our patients are usually sedated and fasted prior to this procedure and is often done in conjunction with radiographs to obtain a full diagnostic picture.
