Radiology

At the Animal & Bird Health Care Center we have two digital x-ray units. Both are high resolution machines that allow us to obtain quality diagnostic images with lower levels of radiation.

Why two units - each serves a separate purpose.

Our primary unit takes images up to 14 by 17 inches. This allows us to take images similar to the type you would see when a radiograph is being taken of yourself.
A few of the reasons we might use this machine are  

• limping or non weight-bearing  
• vomiting
• distended abdomen
• difficulty breathing
• rabbit with gastrointestinal stasis
• bird with a wing injury

​

Our second unit is a dental x-ray machine.
While designed for our dental suite, it is ideal for capturing smaller images such as

• toe injury on a bird
• smaller reptiles
• ferret tail tumor
