Emergency Service

Telephone Number 01474 815333

The Practice operates an emergency service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This service is provided by the surgery’s own veterinary surgeons from our modern facilities. We do not send our clients to out of area emergency providers.

For our small animal clients this brings owners to a surgery they and their pet are familiar with. Thus reducing stress and cutting down on unnecessary travelling in an emergency. This service is supported by the latest technologies and the patient’s full medical records.

Equine patients can be seen at their place of stabling or at the surgery. The duty veterinary surgeon will be equipped with a four wheel drive Land Rover with all the medical and surgical equipment to deal with common emergencies. This also allows access to horses which have collapsed or become injured far from their stable on a ride or out in a field. Mobile radiography and ultrasonography allows rapid assessment of injuries. This ensures the most appropriate first aid and immediate care is given. When required animals can then be transported more safely. The service is backed up by our links to local equine hospitals for those patients that require more specialist care.

Farm animals can be seen on the farm or at the surgery if appropriate. The farm team come equipped for all the common emergencies encountered in general practice.

Payment will be required at the time of consultation. An out of hours fee will be incurred. An estimate can be provided on request.
