Instructions prior to admission

Food and Water

The patient must not be fed later than 8pm if they are to receive an anaesthetic on the following day. Water should be taken up first thing in the morning.

Cats

Are best kept in overnight (with a litter tray) to prevent them going out and disappearing or catching themselves some breakfast!

Dogs

Should be walked on a lead prior to arriving at the surgery. Please do not take dogs for a lengthy walk through muddy fields before arriving at the surgery. (We like them to stay as clean and dry as possible).

Rabbits

Are exceptions and should have food and water left available until admission. Please bring a small amount of food with you.
