    Tiny little hedgehog voice: I’ve been a bad boy. A bad bad boy.

      Wearing a surgical drain is brave all on its own, but that makes me extra inspired!

    One of the most difficult parts of veterinary medicine is the fact that your patients can’t directly communicate. Luckily, the vet knew this hedgehog had something wrong, because it kept exploding into a bunch of golden rings.

    It’s also the only one that’s an Xray instead of a CT

    Yeah, they’re usually found in the grasslands of Africa and a few other places in the world in addition to zoos and such.

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

  source

  • ameancow@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I hate to read any post on the internet that involves both the words “animal” and “consent.”

    Human beings are inexplicable, contradictory species that don’t know how to view the world through anything other than our momentary feelings about things, and the universe suffers for it.

      Somehow I don’t think the fish consented to this…

    • jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Some of those seem to have consented after being forced to.

      Thanks for sharing. How does the fish one work? The dolphin I get because it breathes oxygen, but don’t all fish have gills? I feel like it should be in the water.

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

  source

  • its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Birds have very delicate aie sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.

    source

    • Lyrl@lemm.ee ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I think they lack a diaphragm. It was weird reading in my cockatiel care books that some handling on the neck was fine, but even small pressure to their chest could prevent them from breathing.

    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.

    Some animals don’t do well on their back. It can interfere with breathing.

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

  source

  • philpo@feddit.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    I actually would love to be the one to intubate them!
