Hospitalization

                            Hospitalization

                     When pets are hospitalized for any reason, we understand the stress' felt by both the patient and the owner. From elective procedures such as spays and neutering to emergency care and treatment, the staff at Atwood Animal Hospital are prepared to care for your pet. While in the hospital, patients are evaluated daily by one of our doctors and regularly monitored by our technicians and nursing staff. Donated blankets and towels are provided for the comfort of all patients. We do ask that any items from home be properly labeled. All hospitalized animals are kept in appropriately sized cages and are brought to our indoor runs several times a day. Atwood Animal Hospital is not a 24 hour facility.  It is with the discretion of the doctors that all hospitalized patients left unattended overnight are stabile to do so. If 24 hour monitoring and care is needed for a patient, the doctor will discuss appropriate solutions. On Sundays when the practice is closed, one of our nurses is here at least twice a day to monitor, medicate, and care for all hospitalized patients. The doctor on call that weekend is readily available to the on call nurse for any questions or concerns.

This little girl just got spayed, and she fell asleep in her cage. 

This is our little ferret patient.  He was here getting intravenous fluids for dehydration.  His owner brought him in because he was not acting himself and was lethargic..
