Pet owners should know that a companion MRI is not
dangerous. However, the procedure does require that
the animal receive anesthesia. In order to protect its
patients, Veterinary Specialists of Connecticut has
emergency-trained veterinarians standing by whenever
an animal must undergo anesthesia before a procedure.
The Director of MRI at the clinic has over 13 years of
experience in his field. He also performs MRIs at the
Children’s Hospital of Connecticut. MRIs can help
diagnose neurological disorders and orthopedic
problems. For instance, in a case featured on WTNH-TV,
the MRI at Veterinary Specialists of Connecticut allowed
veterinarians to determine that a dog’s seizures were
due to epilepsy, and that he did not have a brain tumor.
