Digital X-Ray at AV Veterinary Center

X-ray (digital radiography) is a core diagnostic imaging tool in our hospital. It is used to look at bones, the chest, and the abdomen when a veterinarian needs a fast, in-house picture of what is going on. X-rays do not replace a physical exam. Call (661) 729-1500 to inquire; the team will explain whether imaging is recommended and what to expect.
