A Closer Look at CT Scanning – What It Means for Your Pet’s Health At Mulberry House Vets, we’re always looking for ways to offer the very best care for your pets – whether it’s a routine check-up or something more complex. One of the ways we’re able to do that is with our on-site CT scanner, which allows us to see what’s going on inside your pet’s body in amazing detail. What is a CT scan? CT stands for computed tomography – a type of advanced imaging that creates detailed 3D pictures of the inside of the body. It’s a bit like an incredibly advanced X-ray, but instead of just giving us a flat image, CT scans let us view things from every angle. This can help us spot problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. We often use CT to investigate:
Why it matters that our CT scanner is on site Having a permanent CT scanner here at the practice means we don’t need to rely on mobile units or send your pet elsewhere. That means:
Emergency referrals and outpatient scans We know that in emergencies, time is critical. That’s why we can accept emergency referrals for urgent CT scans, giving us the best chance to act quickly and provide effective care. We also offer outpatient CT scans – so if your own vet has recommended advanced imaging, they can refer your pet to us just for the scan. Once it’s done, we’ll send all the images and reports straight back to them. Always in safe hands Every scan is overseen by our experienced veterinary team, and your pet’s comfort and safety are always our top priority. Whether it’s part of a bigger treatment plan or simply an investigative step, you can be assured they’ll be well looked after throughout. If you’d like to know more about CT scanning, how it works, or whether it might be helpful for your pet, feel free to give us a call. We’re always happy to answer questions and talk through your options. 💜 From all of us here at Mulberry House, thank you for trusting us with your pets. |
