In-patient hospital and emergencies
Veterinary technician team
The in-patient hospital and the care of hospitalised patients are handled by the veterinary technician team.
Specialty
In-patient hospital and emergencies
Hospitalisation with an observation chart, intensive fluid therapy, post-operative care — during the practice’s opening hours, with clear patient statuses.
Scope of this specialty
Examinations, procedures and services
We manage every case individually — the scope, indications and course described above are indicative; the exact diagnostic and treatment plan is agreed during the consultation.
In-patient hospital · treatment
Hospitalisation with an observation chart
A stay in the practice's in-patient hospital with an individual observation chart: measurements at set intervals, drips delivered by infusion pumps, oxygen, an on-site laboratory and a daily conversation with the owner.
In-patient hospital · treatment
Intensive fluid therapy and oxygen therapy
Intravenous drips delivered by pump, correction of electrolytes and glucose, and oxygen therapy for patients who are dehydrated, in shock or short of breath. During opening hours; call before you set off.
In-patient hospital · treatment
Post-operative care and recovery
Supervised recovery in a heated kennel, monitoring of temperature and of pain using a scale, the first feed, and discharge with written instructions. Care from the moment the gas anaesthetic is switched off until the animal is handed back to the owner.

Emergencies during opening hours: triage
During opening hours we see emergencies out of turn: call before you set off and the team will prepare a treatment area. Triage, stabilisation, diagnostics and an in-patient hospital on site. We are not open at night.

ViewFrequently asked questions
Owners’ questions
Will someone be with my animal at night?
We do not provide a regular overnight service. The lead veterinarian decides how a patient is looked after overnight: some patients go home for the night with a plan, and patients who need continuous care are referred to a 24-hour animal hospital. We always discuss this openly at admission.
Is a subcutaneous drip enough instead of an intravenous one?
For mild dehydration in a stable patient, yes, and we often use it for treatment at home. In shock, with vomiting or with severe dehydration, subcutaneous fluids are absorbed too slowly and the intravenous route is necessary.
When can I collect my animal?
After minor procedures, usually 2–4 hours after they finish; after major operations, in the afternoon or the next day. We will phone you when the patient is stable, walking and has a pain score within the normal range.
Do I need to phone before I come?
Yes, please, even from the road. This lets us prepare oxygen, fluids and the team, and we can often advise how to transport the animal safely or what to do straight away, for example in the case of poisoning.

Reception will assess your enquiry and book an appointment with the right veterinarian.
