What can a pet x-ray show?

A pet x-ray at Petfolk East Cobb shows dense and air-filled parts of the body clearly. The vet uses it to look for:

• Broken bones and dislocated joints

• Arthritis and hip or elbow changes

• Heart size and fluid or spots in the lungs

• Swallowed objects like rocks, toys, bones or corn cobs

• Gas or a twisted shape in the stomach or intestines

• Bladder and kidney stones

• Puppies or kittens in a pregnant pet

Soft tissue details inside organs are harder to see on an x-ray. For that, the vet may suggest ultrasound. See pet ultrasound in East Cobb.

Does my pet need to be asleep for x-rays?

Most pets don't. At Petfolk East Cobb, your pet lies on a padded table while the team positions them gently for a few seconds per picture. A pet in pain, or one who is too wiggly for a clear picture, may get light sedation. The vet will explain why and get your okay first. Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic, so the team uses soft supports, treats and short breaks.

How long do x-ray results take?

Digital x-rays at Petfolk East Cobb appear on the screen right away, and the vet usually goes over them with you during the visit. Across Petfolk, more than three-quarters of x-ray studies (78%) also get a specialist radiologist's review, and about a quarter of those reviews are rushed for a 1-hour, 4-hour or immediate read (Oct 2025 to Sep 2026). If your pet's x-rays are sent for review, the team tells you when to expect the report.

They give you prices upfront so there's no surprises.

Common reasons for x-rays in East Cobb

Active dogs who run the trails along the Chattahoochee River or play hard at the dog park at Sweat Mountain Park sometimes come in limping. If the limp doesn't ease in a day or two, or your dog won't put weight on the leg, x-rays help rule out a fracture. Dogs who swallow socks, toys or bones are another common reason, since the clinic page lists swallowed objects among the problems it sees often.

Help the vet pick the right views

If your pet ate something, bring the wrapper or a matching piece of the toy. Note when it happened and whether your pet has vomited since. For a limp, a short phone video of your dog walking helps the vet pick the right views.

Cost of pet x-rays

The cost depends on how many views are needed and whether sedation or a specialist review is added. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. An urgent care visit at Petfolk East Cobb starts at $135.

When x-rays show something serious

If x-rays show a twisted stomach, a blockage or a large bleed, your pet may need surgery or care through the night. The vet will help you get to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as Dogwood Veterinary Specialty and Emergency on Powers Ferry Common SE in Marietta.
