Digital Radiography

One of the most useful tools a veterinarian has at his disposal in his clinic is the use of radiologic technology. This is commonly known as x-ray. Animals are unable to tell us exactly where they hurt, so x-rays help our staff identify the problem areas and set us on a course to treat and cure the issues plaguing our pets.

Southwest Louisiana Veterinary Clinic uses x-ray as a diagnostic tool as well as guidance for surgery. If your pet comes in for an emergency visit, he or she may receive an x-ray as a starting point to identify the problem. Radiography can help identify fractures, locate foreign bodies, discover masses or tumors, measure organ size, diagnose pneumonia as well as pregnancy.

Having this service in-house enables us to discover your pet’s problem and start the appropriate treatment as soon as possible. Call us for diagnostic services; we provide care to pets in Sulphur, DeQuincy, Lake Charles, and beyond.
