Case for Annual Chest X-Ray, Abdominal Ultra Sound
Pet Cancer Vet (01-11-2016) #2051: Dr. Sue explains again the importance of getting at least a yearly chest X-ray and abdominal ultra sound from the time a dog is middle-aged (based on dog’s size) in order to catch problems when they are smaller and more treatable. Optimally for senior dogs these routine screenings should be twice a year. In addition, get the full and true value of this imaging by having the really sharp eye of a board certified radiologist to do the reading, which is quick and easy because x-rays are digital and easy to share.
