Tendon scanning, how much did you pay?

As title also was the horse sedated for this, I expected to not sedate, unless it was not cooperating but have just had a quote of £250 to do both legs including £30 of sedative, that is with us going to the surgery so no call out.

This is using a new vets practice with slightly eyewatering charges in general.

It' roughly £75 for the scan - im guessing your vets are doing that per leg - call out at £40 and sedation at £25 if needed. So we generally pay about £150-ish for a leg scan.

Do yours usually need sedation, this is a horse out of training who is totally chilled having been out since Dec and I expect to stand like a pro, yet they seem to want to sedate regardless, which will also mean a wait before bringing him home.

I'm pretty sure my vets are around £150 for a scan, they have a mobile unit so that wouln't include call out and sedation (if necessary). My vets are happy to attempt scanning minus sedation.

Nope we only sedate if the horse needs it. We dont do it as standard.

Thanks, I don't want him sedated just for the sake of it, happy to if required obviously.

Our mare was sedated - mobile scanning unit and with visit and sedation and scan the bill was around £250. They wouldn't risk scanning without sedation as the machine is so expensive. Theyhave to do a very close clip/shave and whilst our mare is used to being clipped this was just extra time they have to stand still and be prepared for the scan.
