Diagnostic Imaging

Ultrasounds, X-Rays, & Endoscopy

At OVG Urgent Care, we know that accurate and timely diagnosis is critical in an emergency. That’s why we offer advanced diagnostic imaging services to quickly assess and identify your pet’s health concerns. Using cutting-edge technology and a highly skilled veterinary team, we provide the precise care your pet needs when every moment matters.

Diagnostic imaging is a key tool in veterinary medicine, especially during emergencies when rapid insights are essential. These non-invasive techniques allow us to see inside your pet's body, revealing injuries, illnesses, or abnormalities that may not be detectable through a physical exam alone.

Our Advanced Imaging Services

We provide a full range of diagnostic imaging services, including: 

• Digital X-Rays: Our digital radiography delivers high-resolution images that enable quick assessment of fractures, lung and heart conditions, foreign objects, and more. Digital X-rays are faster and less stressful for your pet, allowing for immediate evaluation. 
• Ultrasound: This imaging technique uses sound waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and blood flow. It is particularly valuable for diagnosing issues related to the abdomen, heart, and reproductive system, as well as guiding procedures like fluid drainage and biopsies.
• Endoscopy: Using a flexible endoscope equipped with a camera, we can closely inspect your pet’s stomach and identify any issues with minimal discomfort. This technique allows our veterinarians to obtain biopsies, visualize the stomach lining, and safely remove foreign objects without the need for more invasive surgery. 

How Diagnostic Imaging Works

Based on your pet’s symptoms and initial exam, our team may recommend diagnostic imaging. These safe, quick, and minimally invasive techniques allow us to gather vital information for an accurate diagnosis while ensuring your pet’s comfort. In some cases, sedation or anesthesia may be used to keep your pet calm and still for the clearest possible images, with our team carefully monitoring your pet throughout the process. 

Immediate Results for Fast Care

One of the major benefits of our in-house imaging services is the ability to obtain and interpret results quickly. Our veterinarians review the images on the spot, enabling rapid decision-making and swift initiation of treatment—crucial when time is of the essence. 

At OVG Urgent Care, our veterinarians and technicians are highly trained in using advanced diagnostic imaging technologies. We’re committed to providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans to give your pet the best chance of recovery.
