Diagnostic Imaging & Radiology

In house lab at lakeside pet hospital

When your pet shows signs of illness or discomfort, advanced diagnostics allow us to look beyond what's visible. From unexplained limping and abdominal swelling to sudden changes in appetite, our team uses precise imaging to identify the underlying cause, so we can deliver timely, targeted treatment with confidence.

Why Early Diagnosis Matters

Early identification of a medical condition gives your pet the greatest opportunity for effective treatment and recovery. With advanced imaging technologies such as digital X-ray and ultrasound, we can detect health concerns in their early stages, often before symptoms become severe. This timely insight allows us to diagnose internal conditions accurately and build targeted treatment plans with confidence.

In-House Digital Radiology and Pet Imaging

At Lakeside Pet Hospital Santa Rosa, we provide on-site digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound services to support accurate and timely diagnosis. These advanced imaging tools are commonly used to identify:

  • Masses or tumors
  • Bladder stones
  • Gastrointestinal blockages
  • Heart and lung abnormalities
  • Dental disease

X-rays are particularly valuable in emergency situations and injury assessments, while ultrasound uses sound waves to evaluate soft tissues and organ function in detail. For complex cases, we collaborate with a board-certified specialist to ensure precise ultrasound interpretation.
