Does my pet need sedation for the veterinary digital X-rays?

Sedation is not always required to obtain X-rays but each case is different and we cannot assure this until we see your pet. Some pets are really friendly and some other not. Whichever is the case we use safe, reversible sedatives that are often combined with pain medication to make your pet more comfortable for X-rays to be taken.

Who monitor the status of my sedated pet?

Our staff members are very well trained and they will be monitoring your pet’s vitals while they are sedated until they are fully awake. Once your pet is sedated and/or ready to be X-rayed, they are positioned on the table.

Can you explain us the process for veterinary digital X-rays?

Sure we can! The equipment is placed over the target area, and the X-ray is taken. Repositioning your pet may be necessary to obtain various views of the target area. In a few seconds the images are produced and appear on a computer monitor.

Does Veterinary Digital X-Rays can be used for Dental?

Yes! In fact when your dog or cat has periodontal disease, much of the damage takes place below the gum line where neither you, nor your Anaheim Veterinarian at Brookhurst Animal Medical Center can see it.
