That one made me laugh as well. I never knew they had such... unflattering (yet flat!) bodies.
The hamster burritos got me good.
Why couldn't that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck
Some animals don't do well on their back. It can interfere with breathing.
The bird is for a normal x-ray. Here's the context.
CT scans take much longer, but an x-ray is just a few seconds. I think it's just a practical way to get the bird in place for a quick x-ray, and by practical I mean the vet techs minimize their (very real) risk of being murdered.
hehe

Birds have very delicate aie sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.

OMG
Do we also get a thread of pictures of animals getting CT scans with their consent?
Thanks for sharing. How does the fish one work? The dolphin I get because it breathes oxygen, but don’t all fish have gills? I feel like it should be in the water.
Maybe the fish are dead, or not out of the water for too long.
It can be out for a matter of minutes.
Humans are just ludicrously overdependent on aerobic respiration, our brain metabolism is overcharged to the point of being broken.
Most other animals have a lot more room to function sans oxygen, they're more limited by stored energy reserves.
I’m in a yoga teacher training at the moment, and a biologist by background. It’s been amazing seeing how the different yogic breathing techniques impact mental and physical states.
Those crazy folks in the Indus valley civilization made a serious study of this, at least 4,000 years ago according to current evidence. Some techniques, like yoga nidra (alternate nostril breathing for several minutes) have significant impacts on nervous system function.
You can measure this directly with a cheap heart rate monitor and an app that can interpret and returns stats on heart rate variability.
Those old yogis made a study out of exploiting our brain’s dependence on oxygen and developed some pretty cool biohacks.
Wim Hof breathing is so good from time to time
Have never given him money and think he ventures into pseudoscience but this beginner video is safe (no BS, just breathing)

Anything on there that fixes POTS or general awareness of everything around us?

You're supposed to hold your breath for a CT, so the fish is just fine for a bit.
Some of those seem to have consented after being forced to.
Somehow I don’t think the fish consented to this..

I’m sorry, but I cannot stop laughing at this hedgehog 😂
Free my homie sonic. He done nothing wrong.
Except had a brain tumor causing epilepsy.
It's also the only one that's an Xray instead of a CT
One of the most difficult parts of veterinary medicine is the fact that your patients can’t directly communicate. Oftentimes, issues go unnoticed simply because the animal masks things like pain. Luckily, the vet immediately knew this hedgehog had something wrong, because it kept exploding into a bunch of golden rings.
The bdsm community is leaking.
No pun intended btw.

What don't Samsung make?
Good phones 🙄
The only thing animals should be forced to do!
The snake got me laughing. They just folded it onto itself.
A fucking rhino!?
How many people did it take to get him on the gurney?

That CT scanner is like a D&D magic item that lets you conjure up to 2 hit-dice worth of medicated animals....
Stopped asking those pesky questions now didn't it?

Love how the bird is still smiling
Thanks so much for sharing!
funny sad fact, if a person weigh 600 or more lbs, they sometimes have to use xrays/ct/mri in the zoos that are meant for larger animals.
I had a patient tell me he had to go to a zoo for an MRI. I thought it was a self deprecating joke but he was serious.
