Every treatment plan begins with a thorough physical exam performed by our experienced Holmdel veterinarians. While a hands-on exam is the first step in evaluating your pet’s health, sometimes we need a closer look inside, so we turn to diagnostic imaging. With advanced digital X-rays and ultrasound technology, we can quickly and safely gather detailed information to guide your pet’s care.
If your pet is experiencing concerning symptoms such as vomiting, coughing, limping, lethargy, difficulty urinating, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, or the presence of a lump or mass, diagnostic imaging may be recommended.
Give us a call at (732) 671-3110 or book online to schedule an appointment and ensure your pet gets the answers they need.
Rapid X-Ray Results
Digital X-rays are one of the most effective tools we use to evaluate your pet’s bones, joints, and internal organs. At our Holmdel animal hospital, our digital X-ray system allows us to:
-
View clear, detailed images immediately after capture.
-
Minimize the time your pet spends on the X-ray table, reducing stress.
-
Share results with you right away during your appointment.
-
Quickly send images to board-certified radiologists or specialists if a second opinion is needed.
Digital radiology can help diagnose broken bones, arthritis, heart disease, pneumonia, bladder stones, tumors, and other conditions. Because results are available instantly, we can move forward with treatment sooner, keeping your pet more comfortable.
Real-Time Views with Dog & Cat Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a noninvasive, painless imaging technique that uses sound waves to create real-time images of your pet’s internal organs. Unlike X-rays, which show the size and shape of organs, ultrasound allows us to evaluate how well those organs are functioning. We use ultrasound to:
-
Examine the heart to assess structure, blood flow, and potential signs of cardiac disease.
-
Evaluate abdominal organs such as the liver, spleen, bladder, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract.
-
Detect tumors, cysts, or fluid buildup in the abdomen or chest.
-
Aid in early disease detection and pre-surgical planning.
-
Safely guide needle biopsies or fluid sampling for further diagnostic testing.
Ultrasound provides a detailed, dynamic look inside your pet’s body and often delivers answers that cannot be found through X-rays or blood tests alone.
