CT Scans

Just wondering how much anyone on here has forked out for a CT scan??

I don't think my vets actually have one so would need to get a referral to another local vet who can do any scan that is required, its nothing urgent that can't be put off for now so just curious at the moment about costings
 
When a rabbit CT scan was mentioned as an option to me a couple of years ago, it was via a specialist referral and was several hundred pounds (£500+). Can't remember the actual amount quoted, but it wasn't something I was prepared to pay for under the circumstances. If it had been covered by insurance, I might have looked into it more, although I don't think it would have changed the treatment or outcome for that rabbit.
 
Scrappy had a CT scan earlier this year at the RVC hospital in Potters Bar for her tooth roots (so just a head scan). The total cost was £290. That included the scan, hospital care and medication. I opted for that as apparently it wasn't that much more than an x ray would have been and the scan would give more detail than the x ray. I had to have a consultation with them beforehand and that alone cost £150.
 
Thanks for the responses I was thinking around the £300 - £350 mark but that was just a guess.

I haven't even asked my vets if they have one or not, I was going to check when they go in for vaccinations.

I know a new purpose built vets in the town centre has a shiny new scanner so if my vets don't have that facility I'm going to see if it's possible to get the scan done at that vets I'd sooner not have to travel miles just to get a head scan done
