Most x-rays are carried out under sedation or general anaesthesia and allow us to assess the skeletal system and internal organs of your cat. Because the system is digital we can take multiple pictures without having to unduly extend the time your cat is asleep, and obtain high quality images suitable for interpretation in-house (including by our specialist surgeons) and for exporting digitally for second opinions. We are always happy to show you your cat’s x-rays and explain our findings.
