  Fox Valley Veterinary Hospital provides many services  for our clients. Below are a few of our most sought after services:

• Diagnostic

        • Radiography
 X-rays are very useful for diagnosing medical problems. If your veterinarian feels a lump or mass in your pet's abdomen, an X-ray can determine where the mass is located. X-rays can very often pinpoint the organ where the problem is occurring. A mass or foreign object in the stomach is often easily seen in an X-ray. If your pet is vomiting and an X-ray reveals irregular gas patterns and bunching of the small intestine, this could mean that your pet has eaten string or something else that is preventing digestion.
