X-rays are painless and do not cause any discomfort for animals, so anesthesia is not administered in most cases. However, if your pet is anxious or uncooperative, we may recommend anesthesia to ensure the safety and accuracy of the X-ray. If we determine that anesthesia would be in your pet's best interest, we will use a dose specifically tailored to their needs. Please feel free to talk with us about any concerns you may have for your pet.
