You must follow the vet&#8217;s instructions to fast the pet or prepare the hair before the examination to prevent the pet&#8217;s stomach or hair from affecting the image quality. Some reptiles or small animals may need mild anesthesia to prevent movement from blurring the image. Owners should discuss the risks of anesthesia with the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Imaging Procedure<\/strong> The procedure includes making an appointment, preparing before the examination, calming the animal on the day of the examination, and waiting for the report. The vet will explain the report and recommend subsequent treatment. The cost of imaging varies depending on the equipment, the need for anesthesia, and the area being examined. If anesthesia or sedation is required, there will be an additional fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"519\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cityvet.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cvgg43e.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cityvet.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cvgg43e.png 519w, https:\/\/www.cityvet.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cvgg43e-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Will imaging harm my small animal?<\/strong> No. The amount of radiation from an X-ray is low, and an ultrasound is safe and harmless.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Is anesthesia necessary for imaging?<\/strong> It depends on the individual animal.

Please follow your vet&#8217;s instructions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What should I be aware of after the exam?<\/strong> If the pet had anesthesia, it should stay at the clinic for observation. If not, it can go home to rest and follow the vet&#8217;s treatment recommendations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How often are imaging exams needed?<\/strong> It depends on the condition, but if there are abnormal symptoms or a need for post-surgery follow-up, imaging may be needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cityvet Imaging Services<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cityvet is committed to providing outstanding comprehensive veterinary medical services, upholding the core values of &#8220;professionalism, care, and trust&#8221;.
