Pet X-Rays & Digital Radiography in San Jose

Your dog is limping and you can't figure out why. Your cat hasn't pooped in three days. The vet says "let's get some x-rays" and you're wondering what that means and if it's really needed.

At Acacia Pet Clinic, our digital x-ray system lets us see inside your pet in minutes. No waiting days for results or driving across town to some imaging center. We take the pictures, read them right here, and start treatment fast.

Digital Radiography for Dogs and Cats

X-rays show us what we can't see from the outside. Bones, organs, foreign objects, fluid where it shouldn't be - radiography reveals problems that physical exams miss.

Faster & Clearer

Digital images pop up in seconds. We can zoom, adjust brightness, and see fine details instantly.

Safer

Our modern system uses very low radiation levels, making it safer for your pet and our staff.

Fast, Accurate Pet X-Ray Diagnostics with Digital Radiography

We use pet x-rays to diagnose all kinds of conditions:

Broken Bones

Fractures from falls or accidents show clearly, helping us decide between splinting or surgery.

Joint Problems

Arthritis, hip dysplasia, and ligament tears. We can see bone density and joint spacing.

Chest X-Rays

Checking heart and lungs for enlargement, fluid, tumors, or pneumonia.

Abdominal X-Rays

Reveals bladder stones, intestinal blockages, masses, or fluid accumulation.

X-rays are also a crucial part of our comprehensive Pet Dental Care to check for tooth root health.

Emergency X-Rays

When your pet has an emergency, quick imaging can be lifesaving:

  • Trauma: Checks for internal bleeding and organ damage after accidents.
  • Bloat (GDV): Confirms stomach torsion in large dogs immediately.
  • Foreign Bodies: Locates swallowed objects to guide removal options.
  • Breathing Issues: Identifies pneumonia, heart failure, or fluid.

Dog X-Rays

  • Large Breeds: We get clear hip and spine images easily.
  • Small Dogs: Extra gentle handling for tiny bones.
  • Hip Dysplasia: Special positioning for accurate diagnosis.
  • Seniors: Regular screening for arthritis and tumors.

Cat X-Rays

  • Low Stress: Quick appointments to keep kitties calm.
  • Bladder Stones: Very common in cats; x-rays show them clearly.
  • Chest Films: Essential for diagnosing asthma and heart disease.
  • Injuries: Checking for breaks from falls or accidents.
