Admission and Discharge of Equine Patients
Admission
It may be necessary to for your horse to remain in hospital for one night or more in order for procedures to be carried out. We have excellent, new barn accommodation which can accommodate 45 horses in spacious well ventilated stables. We use deep shavings beds and feed only the best quality, low dust meadow hay or haylage. All horses are groomed daily and we stock a wide range of horse feeds to maintain dietary continuity when your horse is hospitalised. When your horse is admitted one of our Equine Technicians will be assigned to your horse and will be responsible for your horse’s care throughout its stay in the hospital.
Discharge
When your horse is ready to go home, a suitable time will be arranged with you so that full discharge instructions can be explained to you. You will be given a discharge summary of your horses treatment and after care. This sheet is also faxed to your Referring Veterinary Surgeon the day of discharge and is followed up by a full veterinary report to your Veterinary Surgeon.
