CT Scan
We offers CT scans for advanced testing options
Paws and Claws Medical Center offers some of the most comprehensive diagnostic tools available in the veterinary field here in Miami. From in house diagnostics like X-rays and ultrasound technology to the ability to perform our own laboratory testing, we have you and your pet covered. Our veterinary hospital also offers CT scans for advanced testing options.
When your pet comes in with concerning symptoms or a medical emergency, our veterinarian may request to perform a CT scan to get a closer look at the animal’s bone, muscle or organ. CT scans function similarly to a traditional radiograph, or X-ray, but offer much greater detail. They’re useful for helping our surgeon plan a procedure, giving them a complete view of your pet’s insides. We can also use a CT scan to locate a tumor and determine its spread inside the body. This helps us determine an appropriate treatment plan for your pet so that we don’t miss any malignant growths. One of the most common reasons veterinarians suggest a CT scan is to diagnose nasal disease for pets who have constant nasal discharge.
