The Scans That Save Pets Lives: MRI and CT

Veterinary medicine has come a long way, and advanced diagnostics are changing the way we understand, diagnose, and treat pets.In this episode of Tea and Tails by Modern Vet, we sit down with Dr Dieter to talk about MRI and CT scans in dogs and cats, and how these advanced imaging tools are helping veterinarians see beyond what is possible with physical exams, blood tests, ultrasound, or X-rays.From spinal problems and neurological signs to complex injuries, tumours, nasal disease, ear disease, and unexplained symptoms, MRI and CT can provide clearer answers when a diagnosis is not straightforward. These scans allow veterinary teams to detect problems earlier, understand conditions in more detail, and create more accurate treatment or surgical plans.We also discuss how access to advanced imaging is helping raise the standard of veterinary care, giving pets a better chance at faster diagnosis, more targeted treatment, and improved outcomes.In this episode, we cover:• MRI vs CT: what is the difference?• When a pet may need advanced imaging• How MRI and CT are changing veterinary diagnostics• Why X-rays and blood tests are not always enough• What conditions advanced imaging can help detect• How better diagnostics can improve treatment planning• What pet owners should expect during the processWatch the full episode to learn how MRI and CT scans are helping veterinarians get clearer answers and provide more advanced care for dogs and cats.🔗 Learn More🌐 Visit us: https://modernvet.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazhCZWtLVkE1OVpJQ3U1eFU3Q0VLdjJwd2pod3xBQ3Jtc0ttbjd6bGg3ME5sZ28yMlFjSmxNX2UtWTd4RklJbE9fcXhOU0RyX0lZbUUtYV96Z3k4Vlhtd29EVjBGZWJkeXZVVHRoSVVoYklEYlBWSFNjd0lBZFRxZHJhUk1nOS1oc2VTdlEtd256elg1b2NETHZoVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmodernvet.com%2F&v=fW4BJT-aT2o]🛒 Shop Online (food, accessories & more): https://floof.ae/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkoyaHl4UTgxZkM2OEhCSzE2cHBPVEtFd25EZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttREVzUUg4VkxfUkRzLTNwdTFaaUxVQ3llMDRsWkRsSlBKRi1WcWhsOVJ6d1lSZmdqV0FrQVR3YlNUYjlzTjVXS2hiRFpqSFBXRThCUzU3bTA2eWtBRDVjcEowVGV1cjRzOU5lVXNtWlAzSWJXOTNJdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffloof.ae%2F&v=fW4BJT-aT2o]✈️ Pet Relocation Services: https://blueskypetrelocation.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTN1Mk9CUVdDeUQ0RzNoMnFTTWVaRzZLSm1oZ3xBQ3Jtc0trZVg0SnBmUXlxNy1LNVc5NHlDWjNmVlIycG5ncHppYVZabVE3S2RVSG91UW5mQjRJU19rNklWaUI0RnZQTmJad0hycktQNkRRbEMtc09XOW1Md2RBYV96dU40VDZoMVhjSW5raHVUdUI5a0JwTDB2TQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fblueskypetrelocation.com%2F&v=fW4BJT-aT2o]📱 Follow us on Instagram:   / modernvetdubai   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDEwRzVvc1VibHFPRjJuaExTR3h5U1NQTXV6d3xBQ3Jtc0ttTUxQRUt4NHgxODE5bVNnR3JxZzFRZmtVOUZOWFNiQmJLaHBDbnZQcmFPM0ZZdFBac21OUVRnV3dBbDRyS1NmajJJVzhUVkdDZmlQOTA5YkIwejJ5R0ZKeGoxMWRXcjk4VmtyLWpma3VIcjBFMnJwUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fmodernvetdubai%2F&v=fW4BJT-aT2o]📘 Like us on Facebook:   / modernvetdubai   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnJkSGR2Wlk2dE9qUHZxY2NkbWxsZ3Bnb2RfQXxBQ3Jtc0tsNTUwaGpaX1J2S0Fwa21nWHpmVWJNNkJOcUtrcGRfcmhsTFBicUdsVGdsY1oxU3U2M0RfeFRLNFFIU21pNmJicTFQNzJxOU1fS1pCUnZBa05wa0MyNFNHUzdVVmNmck9JZ2RybVEtX29PU3A0MWdldw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmodernvetdubai&v=fW4BJT-aT2o] 🐦Twitter/X: https://x.com/modernvetdubai [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWI1OUEtX3hBeTZTN3B1amFvZWlXYWdFMTZtQXxBQ3Jtc0tsd0VkdENxNEZVRjdIRnpyamZiM091Yl9JTjBtVUV1cEF4OC1GV3lSaUJoWGt2MzhNMmxlZDJRZS1TLTRYRWlLVFBoZGNPYWtNMW1hOThfMWI1clRzaE9FZVNlZERwUGxBc1dOOU01UllpWUNwamMtNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fmodernvetdubai&v=fW4BJT-aT2o]

Pet Nutrition Myths Busted 🐾🦴

In this episode of Tea and Tails, we sit down with Dr Ivan to talk about the huge impact nutrition can have on pet health, and why it plays such an important role in internal medicine.So many owners still think nutrition is only about weight, or that all pet foods are basically the same, but the reality is far more complex. What a pet eats can directly affect the management of many medical conditions, from digestive disease and pancreatitis to kidney problems, obesity, skin issues, and long term chronic illness.In this conversation, we explore some of the most common myths around pet nutrition, where owners can be unintentionally misled, and why diet should be seen as part of medical care, not just a routine choice.In this episode, we cover:• Common myths around pet nutrition• Why nutrition matters so much in internal medicine cases• How diet can support pets with ongoing health conditions• The risks of overfeeding, treats, and unbalanced diets• Prescription diets, supplements, and when they are actually needed• Why nutritional advice should always be tailored to the individual petIf you have ever wondered whether food really makes that much of a difference to your pet’s health, this episode explains why the answer is yes.🔗 Learn More🌐 Visit us: https://modernvet.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEhWVlVpSTM5MlduX01XR0FseUV4V2FFTFFRd3xBQ3Jtc0tudFBiNWRwbFNoejYzZzJJMUVHeVNnNkpGd3FueWhLbDJXUHBVVS1SWXJUcVBkbUxyaTc0Uk8ySUFzS2otX0xMQjllcnZvSXBVcmo2Ql9ZdmlnUC1SNHJNai04eVM3WUNJdjdPLW1ZdFA4U0FRLXZ1Yw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmodernvet.com%2F&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM]🛒 Shop Online (food, accessories & more): https://floof.ae/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbGpLc1RvaFk1ODFkS2xJTE9JNC1EdTltYWxnQXxBQ3Jtc0ttMnFPekVBV0FKdnE4Qlg1RllIOVNHSEF2emVyNy0zSmZtTnV5Qm9wU2N6cTZvOFhobmZmUTNYLVVMdWx2b1NnTUFydVlEc045Y1RKMmdrTmsteDVoX1h0cUswdXk5WjBNNzBQOW5UeFZwR2xpTk5KYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffloof.ae%2F&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM]✈️ Pet Relocation Services: https://blueskypetrelocation.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3Uzem1PSEdodkduUVYtZkx3ZVN4SUZ0STF3QXxBQ3Jtc0trNkxIa0Zuc3MzdHQwRUpaZWwyUW83NC15SFVvbmxLTWhOWVU4RTFHTlAzRG9IUTZ1WmQxdm5sOTB3RjFLeVVOVkt2NDRyV3FBWklYajJiall2WWk1c052ZVA4TlhiOFlzRndyOHEzWEpIdzlRU1VRYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fblueskypetrelocation.com%2F&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM]📱 Follow us on Instagram:   / modernvetdubai   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXhmZ0xLQS15c1BEaGY3QlROUHJDZVdqWk9ZUXxBQ3Jtc0tsRGJOSW5VQXQ2QUczRFQzNy1ra0p3UnlPRUNYUVJxaUNLbHZHLU5tZDNfUFktdHp0ZERUZU5ZY1NUbTNDVEF3X2oxY1BiOE9zZG9JUFdpT01sRDAzN3V1SkIwejdGVlktVGY5ajVJOHh0SVhYUm9tOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fmodernvetdubai%2F&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM]📘 Like us on Facebook:   / modernvetdubai   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXBfa2tucWcwMTBGS3VUYWRSbnFaYlpZWUpuUXxBQ3Jtc0tuNTZoOFU5WGRGOXdCcXN5ZDNvazhWVGhQSHpaNmNJMVlEQ0hKOVpzYXA1UDhIckJzeU9OWER0MTB5WV84a09qLTFub2JEdXZHMHFPTk50WFQ2dS00QnBRX3RoYW9PZGZZZmVNNzJidVhfdmYtVkVRNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmodernvetdubai&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM] 🐦Twitter/X: https://x.com/modernvetdubai [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa21ZcUhjanFwR3JrYWF3YWZKYnhsVUZOTkZiUXxBQ3Jtc0trekRzZW5QX212SVNTZl96eFpacVBqd3NrTVVTUjQ1MGFvOTVEVF9mM3FmR2hRODdNd3RxaVBXM3JSREdjU1hReU1VR25mejEtdWZhQ3p1czlnb2VvZU9KbmRJSGpTbHgwWWpqZTFpZkU5OGJMQ0xhOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fmodernvetdubai&v=Pi1MR5DTVdM]
