Hello! It sounds like you're gearing up to take your dog in for an X-ray, and it's great that you're being proactive about their health. X-rays can be a helpful tool in diagnosing issues such as fractures, foreign objects, and certain organ problems.
Before you head in, you might want to prepare a bit to make the experience smoother for both you and your dog. Start by ensuring your dog feels comfortable and calm; bringing along a favorite toy or blanket can help. Often, it’s a good idea to give your dog a nice walk beforehand to help them expend any excess energy and reduce anxiety.
Sometimes, dogs need to be sedated or mildly restrained during X-rays to keep them still. Your vet will discuss this with you if it's necessary, considering your dog's health and temperament.
At home, keep an eye out for indicators that may suggest a more serious issue, like persistent pain, swelling, difficulty breathing, or changes in behavior. If you notice any of these, let your vet know right away.
If you have any more concerns or questions, I'm here to help! Consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can discuss your dog’s condition and any specific preparation instructions in more detail. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
