SV - digital X rays??? - Page 1

I know that the SV doesn't accept digital X Rays.  It's never been a problem before because the vet I use for hips & elbows had a regular X Ray machine.  But recently it broke and they replaced it with a digital X Ray machine.   Now I can't get films done there and I don't want to just go to any vet because I know how important positioning is to see the hips & elbows accurately. Now I have to scrounge around and find somebody who is good at doing the X Rays and who has a film machine.

So anyway, why doesn't the SV accept digital X Rays?  Does anybody know?  Is there some legitimate reason or are they just being snooty about it cause it's sure making things difficult!!

Hi Sara

Here is a link to a company that I used when the same thing happened.

Now I can still use the same Vet that I like.

The price is very reasonable

Oh wonderful!  I thought there was probably something like this out there.  The SV will accept these??

Thanks for the link Laural.

Now maybe if I didn't type too fast and actually READ the link I'd have the answer to my own question!!! 

I see it all explained there.

Thanks.

Tthe SV had no problem with this and the company will give you the CD back if you want.

Fast service and low prices

Has anything changed....will they accept anything digital yet? 

No, the SV is not accepting anything digital......... at this point.
