Large Animal Imaging

Every year, thousands of farm and ranch animals visit the VMTH and are in need of a procedure from our Diagnostic Imaging Service. Occasionally, we will also see large zoo and wildlife animals. Whatever the need, our facilities can handle any situation. In fact, our large animal radiography rooms are large enough to x-ray an elephant.

Large Animal Ultrasound

UC Davis’ Large Animal Clinic is one of few veterinary hospitals in the country with a service dedicated exclusively to large animal ultrasound and staffed by faculty specifically trained in its use. While the majority of our cases are horses, we also see livestock patients, both production animals and pets, such as goats, sheep and pot belly pigs.
