So cute. But would you do an MRI on a hamster? They only live a couple years anyway! xD

Im sorry, but hamster life expectancy is like 3 years tops. I dont need to know if he has a brain tumor if hes just gonna die of unpreventable causes 6 months later

How often would a hamster need an MRI?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suspect about the same rate as any creature that has access to that level of health care.

[–] the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That hamster has better health coverage than I do.

Sorry to hear about your Secretary of Health.

Why, what have you heard? Did the brain worm finally win?

Unfortunately the poor little guy starved to death.

No, I'm sorry to keep hearing RFK is still alive.

Damn, this hamster is getting better healthcare than me

I don't know, does it beat the hedgehog?

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pointless nitpick, but that's a CAT scan, not MRI.

[–] marighost@piefed.social 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like a hamster to me, not a cat.

Yup

Mice MRI have a small opening cuz of magnets (small animal MRI machines are so fucking cool, some of them incorporate PET)

Over here we can't afford teeth yet some one has enough money to get an MRI for a fucking hamster

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Lol, people can't afford the 3500 to get an MRI and that ballers are just handing that shit out to rodents

I would totally smoke that hamster
