The right to repair movement is in shambles
No, Mr. Hamster, I expect you to die.
Seriously though… I’m all for giving animals excellent care. But is that actually a thing people do? Give their hamster an MRI? That’s a very expensive procedure for humans with good insurance, so I’d assume it to be rather unaffordable when applied to pets like this.
I could see it for say, a beloved dog who’s got years of life left. But hamsters kick the bucket if you breathe in their general direction.
Who’s to say this isn’t for animal health research?
That’s pretty much what I’m assuming for an actual answer.
Though I’ve certainly read about people who spent ungodly amounts to save pets, even old ones or street dogs. Bless them for it, for sure.
The primary reason an MRI is expensive to run is that it has this magnetic field that must be maintained. This is a cost that is irrespective of whether they are running a scan.
So if you have an MRI for small animals and it’s not being used, you might use it for a hamster.

I don’t get it. It’s too early in the morning for this.

I hate that I can’t tell what the truth is
Ah yes, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging laser because that’s how it works.
Looks more like a CAT scan than an MRI
