Individual Care Plans
At Wicstun Vets, we ensure that an individual care plan is arranged for each case. Depending upon their condition some pets will need intensive care nursing, some will need checks and medication every hour or two, while others will require regular but less frequent observations through the night.
Through the Night
Rest and quiet are important for recovery so where possible clinical intervention and observations will be planned to allow your pet as much sleep as possible. Our night nurse is on hand to nurse your pet through the night if required and our night vet is on site for any changes in condition.
Visiting your pet in hospital
If your pet needs to stay with us in our veterinary hospital in Market Weighton, we can arrange for you to visit your pet, if you wish.
Remember your pet may be feeling delicate, and there may be other animals receiving treatment nearby so we do ask that visits be kept short and noise kept to a minimum.
Sometimes your vet may advise that a visit is not appropriate, this because your pet’s condition may be adversely affected or your pet unsettled by the excitement in seeing you. In this instance, we will do our utmost to ensure that you are fully informed of your pet’s well-being.
You can be assured that our dedicated team of vets, vet nurses and patietn care assistants will be giving your pet plenty of care and attention, and vene cuddles.
