Pet Radiology & Imaging in Oconomowoc, WI

When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use radiographs to help identify the cause of the problem, rule out possible problems, or provide a list of possible causes. We may also use radiographs during a wellness exam to diagnose potential problems before they become serious.

What Radiographs Show Us

Radiographs provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract — stomach, intestines, colon — respiratory tract, heart, and genitourinary system, including the bladder and prostate.

We use radiology alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. Interpretation of radiographs requires great skill on the part of the veterinarian.

Digital Radiology On Site

We are proud to offer digital radiology, meaning radiographs are captured digitally rather than on film. This allows us to provide you with a quicker diagnosis for your pet, and it uses less radiation than traditional radiographs.

Our radiology suite is here in the hospital, so most imaging happens during your visit rather than at a referral center.

Keeping Your Pet Still

To avoid a blurry image, pets need to remain completely still while a radiograph is taken. In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia. See pet anesthesia and monitoring for how we handle that safely.

Ask Us Anything

If you have any questions about our radiology service or what to expect during your pet’s procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Imaging often works alongside pet diagnostics and labwork to give your veterinarian a complete picture before recommending treatment.
