Will my cat experience pain during cat diagnostic imaging? - Animal Hospital of Statesville
The diagnostic imaging itself is not painful. If you've ever had an x-ray or even an ultrasound, you know that that in itself is not painful. However, if the pet is painful, getting in those positions that we need to get the right picture can be painful. In those situations, such as a fracture or a dislocated joint bone, we're almost always going to sedate your pet to provide us with the best diagnostic tools and your pet with the most comfort. That would be the best for the cat rather than struggling through it.
