It Goes On Posts: 2262 Location: Muskogee, OK	Depends on your location and if they are performed standing or under general anesthesia- if they are placed under GA then the images obtained are usually clearer and result in more precise diagnosis. Standing MRI’s are usually a bit cheaper but the image quality is not as good. $1800-2000 is usually what you can expect for an MRI under general anesthesia, at least in Oklahoma.. This includes images of both feet for comparison purposes.

Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	scwebster - 2018-12-20 12:48 PM What are Equine MRIs running these days. Specifically the foot. I called for a quote, because I'm considering it for my guy, and they told me around $2500. For the front feet. More images from that, of course, price goes up.

Winner winner chicken dinner Posts: 2047 Location: California	My vet clinic here in northern Ca did my horse for $1200. They did lay her down and it was a hind leg (just one location). A friend had just called a few clinics and UC Davis and I felt lucky that my clinic happened to be the cheapest because I already knew and trusted them.

Expert Posts: 2532 Location: the land of dust & sticks	I’ve had both front feet done on 2 different horses. It runs 2300-2500. But double check because some places add an extra charge if they have to take an extra view. I would only recommend an MRI with them laying down, I’ve been told time and time again the standing ones have poor image quality and aren’t worth it by multiple vets. Both times I got the answers needed for my horses, there was no guessing anymore.
