What is a Pet CT Scan?

A CT scan is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool that takes hundreds of 3D, cross-sectional X-ray images of your pet's body in seconds. While traditional X-rays provide a flat, 2D view, CT imaging allows our medical team to look inside organs, examine soft tissues, evaluate complex bone structures, and detect subtle abnormalities that standard radiographs might miss.

Who Can Benefit from CT Imaging? Our advanced scanner is uniquely versatile and tailored to accommodate patients of almost any size. We routinely provide CT diagnostics for:

  • Small Exotic Mammals: Rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and other small pocket pets facing dental, respiratory, or internal issues.

  • Cats: Felines requiring detailed head, neck, abdominal, or chest evaluations.

  • Dogs of All Sizes: From tiny toy breeds to giant canine companions needing joint, spine, or tumor assessments.

When Do We Recommend a CT Scan?

CT scans provide invaluable clarity for a wide variety of conditions, including:

  • Complex ear, nasal, and dental disease (especially in rabbits and cats)

  • Tumor identification, staging, and surgical planning

  • Unexplained lameness, joint disorders, or spinal conditions

  • Internal trauma or organ evaluation

  • Pre-surgical mapping to ensure the safest, most precise procedures

Fast, Gentle, and Local Care Because the scan itself takes only a few minutes, your pet spends minimal time under light sedation or anesthesia. Offering this advanced technology in-house means you don't have to drive to distant specialty referral centers—you get high-definition answers and a tailored treatment plan right here from the team you already trust.
