I have a feeling, most of those are MRT and not CT

A fucking rhino!?

How many people did it take to get him on the gurney?

I’m guessing they would have some sort of overhead crane to do the heavy lifting

The snake got me laughing. They just folded it onto itself.

I wouldn’t want to be the one to have to intubate those animals.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 8 points 23 hours ago

Actually most of them (according to a friend who works for a large animal hospital and has some human EMS background) are intubated far easier than humans - and they place a "hand safer" device (if you're old enough to remember the "plastic screw device"-I don't actually remember the actual name- used to open a seizure patients jaw that were once used, they are similar).

Back in my training day we used cats to practice neonatal intubation.

Why couldn't that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck

[–] sirnuke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The bird is for a normal x-ray. Here's the context.

CT scans take much longer, but an x-ray is just a few seconds. I think it's just a practical way to get the bird in place for a quick x-ray, and by practical I mean the vet techs minimize their (very real) risk of being murdered.
