Yes, if you can post them to the Files section, I am sure that the
vets would be happy to look.

However, for an X-ray to be of any use for telediagnosis (as opposed
to straight education), it will need to be scanned and uploaded in no
less than 1:2 resolution (meaning half the original size), and
preferably 1:1. This may be up to a 2 megabyte file or more, so make
sure that your connection will hold it. We do have enough disk space
on the Yahoo server to cover it.

If the radiograph is a good one for the front page, we will resize to
fit.
