Radiographs and Ultrasound Capabilities
Behind the Scenes: What Happens When Your Pet Has Radiographs or Ultrasounds
When your pet requires radiographs (X-rays), or ultrasonography, there is a lot happening behind the scenes to ensure their safety, comfort, and the accuracy of their results. At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, our team follows a meticulous process to provide the best care possible.
Prepping Your Pet:
- In most cases, pets need to be sedated or placed under light anesthesia to keep them still for clear, high-quality images.
- To administer sedation safely, we shave a small area on their leg to place an intravenous (IV) catheter. This allows us to deliver medications and fluids if needed.
- For ultrasounds we shave their abdomen to allow the ultrasound probe to penetrate past their fur.
Sedation & Monitoring:
- Once sedated, your pet is closely monitored by our veterinary team. We provide supplemental oxygen to ensure they remain stable and comfortable.
- Throughout the procedure, we continuously check their heart rate, breathing, and overall well-being.
Capturing the Radiographs/Ultrasound:
- Our experienced veterinary team carefully positions your pet to obtain the most accurate images for diagnosis.
- We use advanced radiography and ultrasonography equipment to assess bones, joints, and internal organs, helping us detect issues such as fractures, arthritis, or underlying medical conditions.
Post-Radiograph/Ultrasonography Care:
- After the procedure, we gently wake your pet and ensure they are warm and comfortable as they recover from sedation.
- Extra blankets, heating pads, and lots of TLC are provided to help them feel safe as they regain full consciousness.
- We monitor them closely to ensure a smooth recovery before reuniting them with you.
Reviewing the Results:
- Our veterinarians carefully analyze the radiograph or ultrasound images and discuss the findings with you, outlining any next steps for treatment if needed.
- Every step of this process is carried out with your pet’s well-being in mind. From start to finish, they are in the hands of a dedicated team committed to providing them with the highest level of care.
Radiography/ultrasonography Costs & Consultation
At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, we offer a range of advanced diagnostic services to ensure the best possible care for your pet. The cost of an X-ray for dogs typically ranges from $450 to $650, with ultrasounds ranging from $650 to $850, depending on factors such as the area being examined, your pet’s size, and whether sedation or anesthesia is required for a clear and accurate image.
If your pet requires radiographs/ultrasonography, our experienced veterinary team will guide you through the process, explaining what to expect, any necessary preparations, and the next steps based on the results. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities throughout the entire procedure.
Understanding Vaccinations
Vaccinations: Protecting Your Pet’s Health for Life
Vaccinations are a crucial part of responsible pet ownership, providing essential protection against potentially life-threatening diseases. At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, we strongly recommend establishing and maintaining a structured vaccination program to ensure your pet’s long-term health and well-being.
Puppy & Kitten Vaccination Schedule
For young pets, vaccinations should follow a specific timeline to build strong immunity:
- First Vaccination: 6–10 weeks of age
- Second Vaccination: 12–16 weeks of age
- Third Vaccination: 16–20 weeks of age
Following this initial series, annual booster vaccinations are recommended to maintain immunity against preventable diseases, such as parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukemia.
Why Vaccinate?
Vaccinations not only protect your pet but also help prevent the spread of infectious diseases within the community. They reduce the risk of severe illness, costly treatments, and potential transmission to other animals.
Tailored Vaccination Plans
At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, our experienced veterinarians will assess your pet’s lifestyle, breed, and health status to create a customized vaccination schedule. We will also discuss the costs involved, ensuring you have a clear understanding of your pet’s healthcare needs.

Pet Dental Services Consultation
The Importance of Dental Care for Your Pet
Dental health is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of your pet’s overall well-being. At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, we provide comprehensive feline and canine dental care to prevent and treat oral diseases, ensuring your pet stays healthy and comfortable.
Why Dental Health Matters
By the age of three, many pets already show signs of dental disease, including inflamed gums, bad breath, and plaque buildup. Left untreated, dental disease can progress to painful infections, tooth loss, and more serious health complications.
When bacteria accumulates in the mouth due to untreated dental disease, they can enter the bloodstream and spread to vital organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. This can lead to serious systemic infections and significantly impact your pet’s quality of life.
The Cost of Neglecting Dental Health
Ignoring dental problems can result in costly treatments down the track. Advanced dental disease may require tooth extractions, deep cleaning, or even surgical intervention. Prevention is always better than treatment, both for your pet’s health and your budget.
Affordable & Preventative Care
At Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital, we aim to keep our dental care services as affordable as possible while maintaining the highest standards of veterinary treatment. The cost of feline and canine dental procedures depends on the severity of the condition and the treatment required. During your pet’s check-up or consultation, our veterinarians will assess their oral health and provide a detailed breakdown of recommended treatments and associated costs.
To ensure your pet’s long-term health, we recommend regular dental check-ups alongside their annual vaccinations. Just like in human dentistry, early intervention and routine care help prevent future complications, keeping your pet happy, pain-free, and protected from serious health risks.
