Kendall Drive Animal Hospital offers veterinary fluoroscopy services to help diagnose and evaluate conditions that involve movement within the body. Fluoroscopy is a specialized type of real-time X-ray imaging that allows veterinarians to observe organs, tissues, and structures while they are functioning. Unlike traditional X-rays, which capture a single still image, fluoroscopy creates a moving image that helps our team evaluate how different parts of the body work together.
Fluoroscopy is commonly used to diagnose conditions involving the respiratory system, digestive tract, and urinary system. It can help identify swallowing disorders, collapsing trachea, gastrointestinal obstructions, abnormal organ movement, and urinary abnormalities. Because fluoroscopy provides live imaging, it allows veterinarians to detect issues that may not be visible on standard X-rays alone.
Pets suffering from chronic coughing, regurgitation, difficulty swallowing, breathing problems, or unexplained digestive symptoms may benefit from fluoroscopic evaluation. This advanced technology helps our veterinarians make more accurate diagnoses so your pet can receive the most effective treatment possible. Early detection of functional disorders often leads to better outcomes and improved quality of life.
At Kendall Drive Animal Hospital, your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priorities. Depending on the procedure, mild sedation may be recommended to help your pet remain calm and still during the imaging process. Our experienced veterinary team carefully monitors your pet throughout the procedure to ensure a safe and stress-free experience.
One of the major advantages of fluoroscopy is its ability to guide minimally invasive procedures. In some cases, fluoroscopy can assist veterinarians in placing feeding tubes, obtaining biopsies, or performing other diagnostic procedures with greater accuracy and less discomfort for your pet. This advanced imaging tool allows for precise evaluation and treatment planning while reducing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
Kendall Drive Animal Hospital is committed to providing advanced veterinary diagnostics with compassionate care. Our fluoroscopy services help us better understand your pet’s condition and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their needs.
