November 1, 2024
At STARLiGHT VETERINARY HOSPITAL in Ampang, we understand how important your pet’s health is to you. When your pet is unwell, getting an accurate diagnosis quickly is vital for the right treatment. That is why we offer pet CT scan services, providing advanced imaging technology to give a clearer and more detailed view of your pet’s internal health.
A pet CT scan allows our veterinary team to see what standard X-rays may miss. Whether it is detecting hidden injuries, examining tumours, or evaluating complex conditions, our CT scans help us deliver precise care tailored to your pet’s needs.
