My vet lacks MRI. Can they still diagnose my cat's brain tumor?

Question

Can a vet tell if my cat has a brain tumour without a ct or mri as my vets don't have access to this equipment. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered

Jacqueline Nobles, DVM, DACVECC · Accepted Answer

The neurological exam should be able to determine if the disease is in the brain. Age (older pets with new neurological symptoms) and signalment can help prioritize differential diagnoses but ultimately imaging (MRI) is required to make a definitive diagnosis.
