Its not safe because something might go wrong in the scan and the antibiotic/sleeping injection might react with food and it won't show a clear and good picture of your cat's insides. -------------------------------------------------Improvement By the wording of the question, 'cat' scan may actually refer to CT scan or Computed (Axial) Tomography scan. Fasting before the scan for 4 to 6 hours or more may be required for certain scans requiring contrast media (iodine-based dyes to visualize certain organs better) or scans of the abdomen to avoid compounding results since certain food items may mimic human tissue in its response to X rays or reduce the effectiveness of contrast provided by contrast media.
The patient may drink this contrast, or receive it in an enema. Oral and rectal contrast are usually given when examining the abdomen or cells, and not given when scanning the brain or chest. Iodine is the most widely used intravenous contrast agent
There are no generally contraindicated medications after a contrast enhanced Ct Scan.
Without. I had a cat scan this morning for that very reason and no contrast was needed.
C-T, or computed tomography, is a series of x-rays done in 3 dimensional 'slices' of the study area of the body, which allows for very specific detail of the imaged area. A C-T may be either non-contrast, contrast, or both. No matter what part of the body is being imaged, the liquid contrast material is injected intravenously. A nurse or specially trained technician will start an IV, usually in the arm, and inject the contrast material, and then the C-T scan is performed. If both non-contrast and contrast studies are being performed, the non-contrast study is done first.

A three phase CT scan is a ct scan, usually of the liver, that requires an injection of contrast medium, this injection helps outline the vessels of your body by giving the x-rays something to be absorbed by besides blood which has a very low absorption rate. The phases are: 1. Scan during injection: arterial phase, this will highlight lesions in or around the artery leading into the liver. 2. Scan during injection or shortly after: portal vein phase, this will show lesions in or around the portal vein. 3. Delayed scan after injection: this will allow the soft tissue to absorb the contrast and may highlight changes in tissue.
