'Rudy Fujimoto', an 8 year old miniature dachshound dog, undergoes a CT scan ( for a slipped disc in it's back)
Japanese Pets' Longevity Down To Private Healthcare
JAPANESE PETS' LONGEVITY DOWN TO PRIVATE HEALTHCARE
These pictures show Rudy Fujimoto, an 8 year old miniature dachshund, as he undergoes a CT scan for a slipped disc in its back at the Bayside Animal Clinic, in Kanagawa, Japan - just another example of the extreme medical care being offered to Japanese pets by their owners.
Like plenty of Japanese gentlemen of advancing years, Rudy Fujimoto has been suffering from aches and pains.
When he first visited Takeo Minami's clinic he could barely walk, so today he is being strapped to a gurney and passed through the doctor's million-dollar CT scanner. As Rudy's plump body is displayed in cross section on the computer screen the cause of his discomfort is revealed: a slipped disc.
After discussing his surgical options and settling his bill, Rudy waddles off with his lady companion, Michiko. Only one thing distinguishes him from patients in private clinics across the world: Rudy - whose bill came to 89,000 yen (GBP 600) - is a long-haired miniature dachshund.
He is a representative of a new demographic in Japanese society: the pampered pets who are challenging humans with their longevity and the cost of their healthcare.
With advances in medical technology being introduced into veterinary surgeries as well as hospitals, Japanese pets are living longer.
Between 1993 and 2003 the average life span of a Japanese dog rose from 8 years to nearly 12, according to research by the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.
"There has definitely been a change in the past five years", said Dr Minami, whose Bayside Animal Clinic in Yokohama has an MRI machine, physiotherapy equipment and a Philips Br...
