X-Rays & Ultrasound
We offer onsite X-ray services to assist with diagnoses and treatment plans, using the most up-to-date equipment. We have a digital X-ray system that allows us to access specialist help for more complex cases.
Ultrasound is also available onsite as part of a work up or to help diagnose pregnancy.
Xray and ultrasound are available at the main clinic in Geelong only.
Patients are usually sedated or given a full anaesthetic to get the best images possible.
Pregnancy in Dogs
Generally, pregnancy can be detected from around 3-4 weeks with ultrasound. At around 7 weeks gestation dogs can be xrayed to determine the number of pups in a litter. This number is fairly accurate but NOT guaranteed.
Pregnant animals are not given sedation or anaesthetic.
