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

Would love an explanatory text writeup to go along with these. How else do vets diagnose big sick animals?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

They're probably having a better time than the ones that aren't intubated. The intubation is to make sure they're still breathing while they're anesthetized. The ones without tubes are just awake and angry/scared.
