X-rays
Kukurika
Just after weaning Kukurika developed a problem with her neck. She wouldn't lift her head up so her nose was pointing directly downwards between her front feet. She also walked with her front legs very stiff and her feet close together. The vet took x-rays of her neck and shoulders but no abnormalities were identified.
Kali
One symptom of Kali’s worsening heart condition was that her breathing became increasingly laboured as the flow of blood through her lungs decreased. These x-rays were taken before the condition was diagnosed to see if there was any problem with her lungs.
The vet took a series of x-rays at regular intervals to monitor any changes in Kali’s heart and lungs. The x-rays were not conclusive as the vet couldn’t detect any abnormalities. Kali’s symptoms lead to a diagnosis of a heart condition but it wasn’t until after Kali had died that the diagnosis was confirmed by the post mortem.
