X rays at the yard?

[Tezzy]

I have asked the vet to come out & x ray the pony. Do I need electric for the x ray?
I have never had an xray on the horses before now.
In my field & stables, there is no electric, but I can walk her to a part where there is electric. I didn't think to ask the vet :S

Yes, you will need an electricity supply in order to take the x rays! And somewhere level and enclosed! (eg a stable with the bedding chucked up)

good luck

As above and the area needs to be quite dark.

Just had my horse x rayed. Was in the middle of the field, didnt need to be dark, didnt need stable or anything, just electric. This was like a week ago now. We have no electric at yard, so used extension lead to loacal house.

Hope this helps

I had mine xrayed at the yard.....in a barn.

Did have to plug the mobile xray machine in though

Electricity is essential or you won't be getting any slides! It doesn't matter if you are in a field or a stable. Just need a power point - vet should have an extension lead in his/her car. Depends what you are having x-rayed as horse will need to be sedated if it's not good at standing really still
