Hospital Wards

We have 3 separate wards at our Edison Park Veterinary Hospital. There is a Dog, Cat and Isolation Ward. Smaller pets such are rabbits and guinea pigs tend to be housed in the Cat Ward. Each ward is designed to ensure that pets are kept in a comfortable stress free environment where their individual needs are met. Nurses are in attendance all day and night and will sit up nursing patients all night when necessary.

Infectious cases are hospitalised in our Isolation Ward

It is important to be able to treat infectious cases in the hospital as many need intensive treatment and round the clock nursing. Our Isolation Ward can sit empty for long periods of time but can be full during local outbreaks of viruses such as Canine Parvovirus. We seen outbreaks of such cases every year. Strict barrier nursing is essential when treating dogs with Parvovirus. Suits are worn in the isolation ward where they are disposed of after one use. Despite the safety measures this ward is just a comfortable as our other wards and animals certainly don't miss out on comfort, facilities and most definitely do not miss out on TLC.

Kennels tailored for individual needs

While we have unusually large kennels for the comfort our larger or more active patients, we also have a range of other sizes of kennels. Some dogs need to feel snug and secure in a smaller kennel or they may need to be restricted either for treatment or rested after injury or surgery. Our range of sizes and equipment used within our kennels enables us to take each patients individual requirements into account. A yellow stretcher can be seen in this photograph which is used to help move larger patients who are unable to walk.

Quiet and stress free Cat Ward

Our cat ward is quiet and can house a number of cats comfortably and securely in a stress free environment. Plug in diffusers are used that diffuse into the atmosphere helping to prevent anxiety. The ward is away from the dog ward and cages are large enough to move around comfortably and use a litter tray. Some cats may be kept in slightly smaller cages to ensure rest where necesssary.

specialist equipment ensures high quality care

We use high tech equipment in both our cat and dog wards. The equipment on the front of these cages is used to regulate the rate at which intravenous fluids (drips) are given. Most of our equipment is portable so that it can be switched between wards - with the exception of our Isolation Ward.
