Is it normal not to see your pets xRays?

Hi there! It's totally understandable to have questions about your pet's medical care and imaging. Whether or not a pet owner sees their pet’s X-rays can actually vary depending on the situation. Some veterinarians routinely show X-rays to explain a diagnosis or discuss treatment options, while others might not unless it's relevant to the conversation.



Seeing the X-rays yourself can be really helpful for understanding your pet’s condition. If your vet hasn’t shown them to you, you can always ask. They’re usually more than happy to explain what’s on the X-ray and what’s being looked for.



At home, ensure your pet is comfortable and monitor them for signs of discomfort or illness, like changes in eating habits, lethargy, or any unusual behavior. Keep an eye out for serious symptoms, like severe vomiting, difficulty breathing, or an inability to move properly. These are signs that warrant immediate veterinary attention.



If you’re ever unsure about what you’re seeing or if you have concerns, a video consult with a vet can give you peace of mind and guidance tailored to your situation. Consider scheduling a session with Dial A Vet so you can discuss this in more detail. We're here to help!
