Main Entrance  to the Colorado State University Veterinary Hospital

Punkin in the  treatment area

The equipment that  irradiates the tumor - the animal is on the table and the equipment rotates to different positions around him/her.  punkin got radiation from 8 different positions to target the tumor as accurately as possible without damaging any of his brain more than necessary.

this is the cradle for  the animal.  the white pillow-type thing holds their head & neck in position.  the bite piece holds their teeth in place (note the ridges that conform to the ridges of a palate) and the mesh piece clips down over the head to hold the animal still.

and punkin, of course!
