Equipment, Rehabilitation & Therapies
Diagnostic equipment and hands-on treatments are listed separately. Call (661) 729-1500 to inquire. A veterinarian will explain what each option is used for and what to expect.
Diagnostic equipment
Imaging and laboratory tools used to find answers in hospital. MRI Coming Soon is an upcoming diagnostic—not a current service, and no launch date has been announced.
Diagnostic imaging
X-ray
Digital radiographs help assess bones, the chest, and the abdomen. X-rays are often a first imaging step in wellness, surgery planning, and emergency visits.
Learn moreUltrasound
Cardiac and Abdominal Ultrasound
Real-time imaging of the heart and abdominal organs. Used when a veterinarian needs a closer look at soft tissues, fluid, or organ function.
Learn moreDiagnostic procedures

MRI
