@SweetieI am well aware he "meant" no harm. I didn't mean to run over the squirrel, but it doesn't take it back. I appreciate levity - check my previous posts. I typically do NOT butt into situations, but this isn't really very funny for someone who is experiencing it. And yes, MRI's are expensive, we usually have insurance to cover part of the cost as a human. You have to sedate a dog (typically under anesthesia) which makes the procedure not only expensive but, depending on the health of the dog, - dangerous. So yes, I directed the OP to a forum where he/she will receive guidance and support without the extra commentary from the peanut gallery. 4951
