X-Ray and Ultrasound for Dogs and Cats
Our animal hospital in Acton, MA uses digital X-ray and handheld point-of-care ultrasound technology for viewing the internal organs and other structures inside your pet’s body. If we need to check areas such as the bones, joints, heart, and lungs, we’ll recommend X-rays. If we want to look at the abdominal organs or evaluate the heart’s structure and function, we will suggest an ultrasound. We have a specialist come in to perform echocardiograms and comprehensive abdominal ultrasounds, so you can be assured our team is going the extra mile for your pet’s care.
Ultrasound is different from radiography (X-ray) because it uses sound waves to produce moving images of your pet’s internal organs. We can obtain information that X-rays are unable to provide, and make a better diagnosis for your pet.
Internal Medicine
Acton Animal Hospital’s veterinarians are uniquely capable of performing internal medicine workups and treating a wide range of complex chronic diseases in dogs, cats, and exotics. From diabetes and heart disease to kidney disease (common in cats), Cushing’s disease, and various endocrine disorders, there’s very little we can’t manage.
