In the majority of cases it is preferable to ensure that the patient is immobilized chemically when performing radiography, either through gaseous or injectable sedation or anaesthesia. This will allow the correct anatomical positioning of the patient for standard comparable views to be taken and ensure that clinicians and support staff can vacate the immediate area, complying with any ionizing radiation Health and Safety regulations. Ferrets also tend to be uncooperative when physically restrained, therefore chemical restraint is recommended for their safety and that of the operators. This chapter looks at Positioning; Equipment; and Interpretation of radiography and ultrasonography.

This species is considered as requiring significant national conservation concern and action in Scotland, England and Wales (Strachan & Moorhouse 2006). Concerted attempts are now being made to breed water voles in captivity for release projects in Britain. Water vole captive breeding and release projects to date have involved inconsistent health screening procedures, and current conservation management guidelines for this species provide limited veterinary screening recommendations. This project team was tasked with designing and carrying out pre-release health plans to prevent introduction of novel, damaging or zoonotic diseases and so ensure healthy voles were released.
