'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...

Scan picture showing just twin Lewis left in the womb, Hayley Phillips's gave birth to her twins two days apart. She gave birth to Ryan and then her labour completely stopped. Three days later her labour started again and she gave birth to Lewis. The twins have birthdays two days apart and are different star signs
Women gives birth to twins two days apart, Sunderland, Britain - Mar 2009
MY TWINS WERE BORN TWO DAYS APART
When Hayley Phillips went into labour in her bathroom at home she believed that it wouldn't be long before she was meeting her unborn twins for the first time.
And her prediction seemed to come true when, before she even had time to get to hospital, she delivered baby Ryan right onto her bathroom floor.
Her frantic fiancé Craig Selbee, 31, immediately called for an ambulance and Miss Phillips was whisked off to hospital before the second twin arrived.
However, amazingly, when she arrived at hospital her labour had simply stopped.
When doctors examined her hours later, puzzled about why the second twin hadn't yet arrived, they made an astonishing discovery.
Hayley's uterus had closed up again and her contractions had stopped - as if she had finished giving birth.
So it was a case of waiting, and waiting. It wasn't until two days later that she finally went into labour again - giving birth to second twin Lewis.
Hayley, 23, comments: "We just couldn't believe it and neither could the doctors - they had never seen anything quite like it before.
"My body just shut back down after giving birth to Ryan. It felt so strange having given birth to one twin, yet still being pregnant with the other one.
"I nursed Ryan for nearly three days without any sign of his twin brother arriving, before I finally went into labour again on the third day".

Policeman John Nash gets 6 inch stick stuck in his eye while chasing a suspect, Rochdale, Britain - 19 Dec 2008
ROOKIE cop John Nash refused to give up as he closed in on his first arrest - despite having a six-inch branch stuck in his eye after falling during the chase.
It was only when the arrested man turned to him and said: "Mate, you've got to go to hospital," that he realised the horrific extent of his injuries. Pc Nash, who had only been in the force for six days, had slipped on a muddy lawn and slid head-first into a bush, skewering his left eye on the end of one of the branches.
The branch snapped off with one end stuck in Pc's Nash's eye. But, oblivious to the pain, he continued the chase.
Pc Nash, aged 25, from Droylsden, Greater Manchester, said: "I had run across some grass to cut him off just as he got to a fence", he said. "I drew my baton just as I got there. The weather was horrible. It was dark, cold and raining. The grass was boggy and I slipped.
"I was really motoring, really running and I slid into a shrub and I had a ringing in my left ear. I thought I'd hit my baton as I fell. He was still trying to get over the fence and I grabbed his ankle.
"He kept referring to my face and I said `that doesn't matter - come on'. I just thought I'd given myself a black eye.
"Somebody said `get an ambulance quick - he's got something in his eye'. I wondered whether he was talking about me.
"I looked across with my right eye and that's when I noticed a stick coming out of my left eye. I thought `what the heck is that?'
His shocked colleagues immediately took him to Fairfield Hospital in Bury in their patrol car. He later had three hours of surgery at Blackburn Royal Hospital to remove the stick.
It had pierced his eye-lid, sma...

The theme of the event is how science and art study the Human Body and what it can tell us about our own insides/anatomy. Vistors will be able to draw the model in a special life class with a techno-twist led by artist Jeanine Breaker, to find out what lies underneath our skin and to capture the image through art..
