Imaging

Advanced Care

Radiology – X-rays

At Vets of Geelong, we aim to be at the forefront by offering your pet the best available facilities and care.

One of the ways we do this is through the use of advanced digital x-ray equipment at all of our clinics.

Digital X-ray allows us to capture high quality diagnostic images quickly and efficiently- making the process smoother and more comfortable for both our patients and their families. Much like digital photography, these x-rays give us a clear image within seconds, allowing for faster diagnosis and ease of care.

Advantages of digital X-rays

A lower exposure – Digital imaging requires significantly less radiation than that of traditional X-Rays, making for a safer procedure for your pet. which means the procedure is safer for pets

Superior image quality imaging – Clear, detailed images, allow for quicker and more accurate diagnosis

Digital Storage – Digital Images are securely and safely stored on your pets medical history, assisting with a clear medical history and can be shared easily for specialist referral if required.

Whether it’s helping us investigate a limp, a cough, or an underlying internal issue, digital X-rays are a valuable tool in providing a fast and accurate diagnosis for your pet.

Ultrasounds

Ultrasound is a Non-Invasive Look Inside Your Pet’s Health!

Ultrasound is a safe, painless, and non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows us to see what’s happening inside with your pets vital organs in real time. Its use in the veterinary industry has rapidly grown in recent years, helping vets to diagnose and manage health conditions earlier and more accurately than ever before.

Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the soft tissue and organs within your pets body. These images can be paused, saved, and printed-providing vital information to assist in the diagnosis of many medical conditions.

What can we see with an Ultrasound?

At Vets of Geelong, we can use our ultrasound equipment to examine a wide range of internal systems, helping us to provide timely care. Common uses include

Imaging the heart (Echocardiography)

We can use it to see how the heart is beating, evaluate its size and function and check for any abnormalities

Imaging the intestines (Gastrointestinal Systems)

🧻We can assess if muscles are contracting properly as part of the body’s mechanisms for processing food and look for any anomalies

Evaluation other organs

Ultrasound give us detailed views of the liver, kidney, spleen, bladder and more – helping detect changes like inflammation, masees, or fluid buildup.

Confirmation of pregnancy

Ultrasound can give us a gentle way to confirm pregnancy and monitor fetal heart beats

Investigation

Ultrasound is often used alongside other diagnostic tools—such as X-rays and blood tests—to give us a more complete picture of your pet’s health. This holistic approach helps us make accurate, informed decisions about their care.

Customer reviews

See what our clients have to say about their experience with us.

An amazing team of health care professionals. They have provided exceptional care to all of our pets on every occasion. Their professionalism and skills have especially been appreciated in the last few months. Thanks to them one of our cats has survived a snake bite and another one has successfully undergone a necessary and intensive surgery very successfully. This is additional to the ongoing routine care they provide to our other pets. I have the highest regard for the teams at both Geelong West and Highton. Thank you so much for the work that you do and the care that you provide.

Sharon Didone

Repeated amazing experiences at Highton Vet! They have a lovely vet who knows how to treat rabbits (so rare!) and is so loving whenever I take my little bun in. All the staff fawn over her and are just so kind. I’m so thankful to have Highton has our local vet

Breanna Frost

Chanel was taken to emergency care on a Sunday with paralysis of her rear limbs. She had been trampled by a kangaroo but this was not evident at the time. I would like to thank all the loving staff and especially Dr Kate Goodfellow. Expensive scenarios were placed on me but I chose the budget, waiting game, medications, care and follow up phone calls of concern. Thanks For your attention and friendly service. We will be eternally Grateful.

Peter Fitzgerald

Highly recommend Vets of Geelong, will be definitely changing to this practice from now on! After taking my cat Honey that had an eye issue to our regular vet 3-4 times over 3 months with no real resolution, I came here for one appointment and given such good advice, treatment & care. Honey’s eye has now cleared up and not had any flare ups for over a month and she’s loving it!

Elisabeth Dungey

Our main vet Annie has looked after our boy Badger so well along with the rest of the team. They've really brought him so much happiness in his old age. Love the ID tags as well, brilliant idea.

Chloe Drummond

Very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend the Geelong West vet to anyone who needs any form of pet care. Kind and caring staff who take pride in making you and for me my cat feel safe . The after care support is excellent as well.

Craig Smith

Have been to both Highton and Geelong West Veterinary Clinics and both have been outstanding with their friendliness, care and compassion towards both patient and clients. I was very satisfied with the care/treatment my animals received. I just received a follow up letter asking how my Dog is doing and some goodies/vouchers. How lovely

Olivia Addison

Visits to the vet can sometimes be a difficult experience, but Vets of Geelong (Geelong West and Highton) make it that little bit easier. Very friendly staff and welcoming. I really appreciate the follow up calls the next day - a nice bonus touch!

David Keele

Can not recommend more highly. The guys at reception are lovely, and the Vets & nurses really know their stuff. Our pets love them too ❤️ Prices are extremely competitive also, thanks for looking after our little ones!
