In addition to last week’s snow, we took four animal over to VSH in Durham. The Veterinary Specialty Hospital along with Dr. Cindy Godshalk of East Coast Veterinary Imaging donated their facility, services, and staff to ultrasound and radiograph four of our animals. AND, this isn’t the first time they’ve stepped up and helped out: The first time was 3.5 years ago when Cassandra needed an ultrasound. Last year we brought two snakes to VSH in Cary for ultrasounds withRead more

QuikPost: X-rays
Recently, some of our animals went to the vet for radiographs, or x-rays.

It still works, the old-fashioned way, by looking through the view finder and then waiting to look at the photo you snapped later. We’re likely going to replace the camera (any suggestions as toRead more
