What is the digital x-ray room?
The digital x-ray room is used to take x-rays of our pet patients. X-rays are a vital aid to our veterinary teams when diagnosing a pet's problem. If the pet has broken bones or has swallowed an unusual object the X-ray will reveal the extent of the problem.
The digital x-ray facility is very expensive but it has enormous advantages when it comes to pet health. The process is quick and therefore safer for our pet patients as as they are under anaesthetic for a shorter time. The images are high quality and can also be adjusted on screen to enhance definition.
How can I sponsor the digital x-ray room?
The digital x-ray room in each of our pet hospitals costs £95,000 to build and fully equip.
If you are interested in donating the full amount, please get in touch with our pet hospital appeal team on 0800 0199 004 or use our online contact form.
Help us buy the equipment we need for our digital x-ray rooms
£15 Could pay for one small sandbag, used to carefully position a pet when it is having an x ray
£1,000 Could pay for a wall-mounted anaesthetic machine, used in the operating theatres and x ray room of a pet hospital
£40,000 Could pay for the x ray machine so that the vets can take x-rays of a pet and view them to help with their diagnosis
A donation of any amount will help us build our much needed new pet hospitals and build hope for all the pets who need us.
Garfield
Eight-month-old cat, Garfield, used up one of his nine lives after surviving an incredible 120ft fall from his home.
Garfield fell from an open window in the 12th floor flat he lives in with his owner, suffering from a broken leg and a collapsed lung. Luckily, the highly skilled PDSA veterinary team used a metal plate and six screws to fix his leg back together and he's now fully recovered.
