I need an X-Ray, anyone?

You could go to a vets and get it done. I think someone in my family had something like that done it was about a ton. With the new technology that is purely digital it may be cheaper. Phone up and ask a few vets.

That could be a good avenue to follow- the housemate is a sales rep for Vetinary Pharma stuff, it's her job to get on with Vets.

If only there were a radiologist fakenger on the forum!
