Animal Emergency Center offers MRI services on the fourth Saturday of each month. MRI has been used for years in human medicine to diagnose a variety of ailments, and is now available for your pet. It has been used to diagnose spinal defects, disc disease, lameness, tumors, and the cause of some seizures. Ask your veterinarian if it could be used to diagnose your pet's problem. This service is available by referral appointment only.
