X-ray & Ultrasound

X-ray and Ultrasound Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis

At Wishing Well Vets in Wishaw, our diagnostic imaging services, including X-ray and ultrasound, allow us to look inside your pet’s body to identify injuries, illnesses, and underlying conditions quickly and accurately. These tools play an important role in diagnosing problems and planning the most effective treatment for your pet.

Imaging is often recommended during a vet consultation, helping our team make informed decisions and provide the best possible care for your dog, cat, or small pet.

What imaging can help diagnose

Diagnostic imaging gives us a clearer picture of your pet’s health, helping us identify problems that may not be visible during a physical examination.

Injuries and bone issues
X-rays are commonly used to assess fractures, joint problems, and skeletal conditions.

Internal conditions
Ultrasound allows us to examine internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, and bladder.

Unexplained symptoms
Imaging can help investigate symptoms like vomiting, weight loss, or changes in behaviour.

What to expect from imaging

Our imaging services help us make informed decisions about your pet’s care, ensuring the most appropriate treatment plan.

Safe and controlled procedures
Imaging is carried out with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind at all times.

Sedation if required
Some pets may need light sedation to ensure clear images and minimise stress.

Clear results and next steps
We’ll explain the findings and guide you through any recommended treatment or further investigation.

Real experiences from clients who’ve trusted us with their pet’s care.

Everyone we seen was so nice and made us feel welcome. The vet, the nurses and the receptionists were extremely helpful, you could talk and ask anything you wanted to know. Teddy will be back in 2 weeks to see everyone.

Took my girl in after she bumped her face during a serious case of the zoomies and developed a large bump on her nose. The reception team were incredibly sympathetic and caring, and Mark was knowledgeable, thorough, and explained everything clearly. She was sent home with loxicom, and a week later the bump was gone and she was back to her usual sel

I have been coming to Wishing Well-Nardini Rudder for many many years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. They have looked after my cats and dog over the years and I trust them completely. The empathy and compassion they showed when we had to say goodbye to our Pepper last October (and Suzi quite a while back) meant the world to us and showed they real

Absolutely fantastic practice! All staff are so friendly and welcoming. Marta is amazing , my wee dog Rosie loves her. We never feel rushed and she always takes her time to explain Rosie's treatment.
