What can x-rays help diagnose?
X-rays can help veterinarians get a view of your pet's bones, tissues, and internal organs so that they can diagnose issues such as broken bones, bladder stones, swallowed foreign objects, and more. Although x-rays have proven to be extremely useful for veterinarians, they are not always conclusive so further diagnostics may be recommended.
Will my pet need sedation?
Sedation is sometimes required in order to get a clear x-ray. If your pet is calm, not in too much pain, and able to lay in a comfortable position while the x-ray is being taken, sedation will not be necessary. On the other hand, if your pet is squirmy or in pain sedation will be recommended.
