Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging Services in Rothwell

Clear insights for better care – expert imaging for dogs, cats & small pets.

Why veterinary imaging matters

When your pet isn’t feeling their best, advanced imaging helps us get answers quickly and accurately. 

From identifying internal problems to guiding treatment plans, imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool that supports faster, more effective care.

At Beehive Vets in Rothwell, we offer a full range of modern veterinary imaging services for dogs, cats and small animals — including ultrasound, radiography and endoscopy. 

Whether your pet has an urgent issue or needs ongoing monitoring, we’re here with the tools and expertise to help.

Pets we care for

We provide imaging services for dogs, cats and, where appropriate, other small pets. Our experienced team supports everything from routine screenings to complex diagnostics — always with your pet’s comfort and safety as our top priority.

Our veterinary imaging services

Veterinary imaging helps us see beyond the surface, catching problems early, guiding treatment, and giving peace of mind when something seems off.

Here’s how we use imaging to support your pet’s health:

Pet ultrasound (including cardiac scanning)

Ultrasound allows us to examine your pet’s internal organs in real time. It’s non-invasive, painless, and ideal for investigating concerns like:

  • Heart murmurs or suspected heart disease
  • Bladder stones or urinary problems
  • Liver and spleen abnormalities
  • Pregnancy diagnosis
  • Abdominal pain or vomiting

Luke, one of the owners of Beehive Vets, holds a post graduate certificate in cardiology and has years of hands-on experience with ultrasound scanning, including advanced cardiac assessments.

Endoscopy

We’re proud to offer minimally invasive endoscopy with our modern, flexible, small-diameter endoscope, perfect for investigating hard-to-reach areas like:

  • Nasal passages
  • Airways and lungs
  • Stomach and upper digestive tract

This is especially helpful for diagnosing issues like chronic coughing, unexplained vomiting, or even retrieving foreign bodies (like that grass seed your dog inhaled on a walk!).

We combine this with rigid endoscopy for direct imaging of nasal passages and ears and laparoscopy for minimally invasive abdominal surgery.

Digital radiography (X-rays)

Our dedicated X-ray suite provides quick, high-quality digital images to assess:

  • Bones and joints (for fractures, arthritis or lameness)
  • Spine and neurological concerns
  • Heart and lungs
  • Abdomen and internal organs

X-rays help us make informed treatment decisions and spot problems that aren’t visible from the outside, all with minimal stress to your pet.

Safe and comfortable pet imaging in Rothwell

Your pet’s well-being is always our top priority. Imaging procedures are performed with care and precision, often under mild sedation or general anaesthesia when needed, to ensure your pet stays still and stress-free.

We use advanced monitoring and a calm, compassionate approach to keep every visit as safe and comfortable as possible.

Signs your pet may need diagnostic imaging

Your vet may recommend imaging if your pet is showing signs such as:

  • Unexplained weight loss or appetite changes
  • Vomiting, diarrhoea or abdominal discomfort
  • Coughing, breathing difficulties, or nasal discharge
  • Lameness, stiffness, or back pain
  • Behavioural changes or suspected pain
  • Monitoring of known health conditions

Early imaging can help detect problems before they worsen and give you answers when you need them most.
