Pet X-ray

Having clear answers about your pet’s health matters.

Dr. Walia uses advanced pet X-rays to diagnose health conditions with accuracy and efficiency. Our convenient radiology services for pets are used to get a closer look at what’s happening on the inside. Get trusted results for investigating an injury or confirming your pet’s pregnancy.

X-Rays and Your Pet’s Health

Our staff performs digital full-body pet X-rays to capture detailed images of bones, joints, and internal organs. With this advanced diagnostic tool, Dr. Walia can quickly identify issues such as fractures, arthritis, foreign objects, or internal organ concerns. We most often suggest veterinary radiology to:

Digital technology provides faster results and clearer images, which means we can diagnose problems and begin treatment within the same appointment. Our digital system can also easily share images if we ever need to refer your fur baby to a specific veterinary specialist. As your trusted Tacoma veterinarian, Dr. Walia critically reviews every image to guide the next steps in your pet’s treatment plan.

Pregnancy Checks for Cats and Dogs

If your pet is expecting a new litter, our team can assist with pregnancy checks. Near the end of gestation, X-rays enable us to confirm pregnancy and estimate the number of puppies or kittens on the way. These images also help Dr. Walia assess the size and position of the unborn pets, ensuring the mother receives the right care as delivery approaches. Accurate pet pregnancy checks give you peace of mind to prepare for a safe and successful birthing process. We recommend scheduling pregnancy X-rays in the final weeks of gestation to gain the most accurate information. If you are not sure about the timing, call to speak with our friendly staff.

Complex X-Rays Reviewed by Experts

For most cases, Dr. Walia personally reviews your pet’s X-rays, offering his decades of experience to provide immediate insights. However, in the case of particularly complex findings, we can send the images to a board-certified veterinary radiologist for specialized interpretation. Radiologists bring specific training in imaging, which can be invaluable for identifying subtle or rare conditions. With this collaboration, your pet benefits from the most accurate diagnosis, all while maintaining the convenience of care at Westgate Animal Hospital.
