Diagnostic Imaging
We are fortunate to have a good range of diagnostic imaging equipment. We have a digital X Ray machine and processor which is in daily use at Montgomery.
We also have state of the art Ultrasound scanners for small and large animal diagnostic and pregnancy assessments. We have a range of endoscopes available which can on occasion be a very useful diagnostic tool.
Ultrasonography
Our ultrasound scanner enables vets to get a picture of the inside of your pet’s body, and is often more suitable than x-ray for assessing the heart and other soft tissues of the body.
We can use our machine to diagnose pregnancy in dogs and cats, screen for abnormalities in the chest and abdomen and have even been known to scan snakes for breeding readiness!
In the majority of cases, as ultrasound scans are painless and non-invasive, there is no need for sedation or general anaesthetic.
Large Animals – We have multiple portable ultrasound machines that we take on farm and use for pregnancy diagnosis in cattle and routine fertility visits to ensure that your herd is the most productive it can be.
