How Do We Take Care of Your Hospitalized Pet?
After discussing with you, our veterinary team will provide an estimate and create a treatment plan based on your pet’s current clinical condition. The length of hospitalization depends on the diagnosis and your pet’s individual response to treatment. We closely monitor vital signs, IV fluid administration, food intake, urine and stool output, and other important parameters using our on-site laboratory services and advanced diagnostics.
Pet parents are welcome to visit during the stay; however, visits may be restricted for certain contagious or critical conditions. We will keep you updated with timely calls about your pet’s progress and response to treatment. Pets recovering from surgery, such as orthopedic surgery or other procedures, are also closely monitored here before going home.
