Pictures of Animals Getting CT Scans Against their Will: A Thread

I’m sorry, but I cannot stop laughing at this hedgehog 😂

This feels like the equivalent of getting abducted by a superintelligent alien race, being put into a machine beyond your wildest comprehension, and then probably getting a treat and sent back home where nobody will believe you

My favorite is definitely that poor hedgehog, LOL

funny sad fact, if a person weigh 600 or more lbs, they sometimes have to use xrays/ct/mri in the zoos that are meant for larger animals.

Do we also get a thread of pictures of animals getting CT scans with their consent?

The hamster burritos got me good.

Stopped asking those pesky questions now didn't it?

Burrito

tomorrow is monday again, folks

A fucking rhino!?

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

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

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

I don't think animals are ever okay getting CT scanned

Are we the bad guys?

What don't Samsung make?

I can't believe nobody has posted this edit yet

There's definitely two kinds

• Ima napping
• You think this is funny? This cell won't hold me forever. And once I'm free, you will all regret it

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

The mice got a nice pillow

The crossovers between veterinary medicine and pediatric medicine are a lot more significant than most people like to think about. The Venn diagram isn't a perfect circle....but it's close.

"Against their will" made me chuckle

that goose is gonna kill some mfs when it wakes up

How long does something need to stay still for a CT scan and can you send water through, just thinking about aquatic animals if you could just send the tank through.

Looking at my axolotl who can happily sit there not moving for hours in the hope of ambushing prey, staying still should be easy enough.

Interesting.

Did you take these pictures, or could you mention their source? I want to make sure the author(s) get credit.

A... giraffe? Are they alive?

Amazing post

The only thing animals should be forced to do!

Hats off to all these people keeping everything under control and helping these creatures. I cannot imagine how pissed off that lion or tiger would be if they woke up in the middle of a giant metal donut that makes tons of noise. I mean that takes a lot of courage. Most I will volunteer for is the bird, the fluffy burrito, and maybe the hedgehog. Pretty much anything that won't eat me.

OMG

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

Love how the bird is still smiling

Thanks so much for sharing!

Whats the type of bear on 3rd picture?

That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....

What do you mean against their will? Did you ask them politely?

This made me smile! I love it 😀

they did surgery on a grape!

That horse one reminds me of a drawing of how a horse was hung as a form of execution for crimes, they had it strung up by it's hooves

Oh man I feel bad for thr intubated ones

Ok, now do animals being tortured and murdered against their will. Much much bigger photoset.
