NURSE APPOINTMENTS Our qualified veterinary nurses hold appointments throughout the working week. They are able to offer advice on preventative health care (flea and worm control, dental care and dietary requirements). They can help with training and the treatment of obesity. OPERATIONS Operations take place Monday to Friday with admission appointments from 8.00am at the Purleigh surgery and from 9am at the Maldon and Althorne surgeries. Most patients are able to return home the same day. We recommend the use of pre-operative blood testing to help minimise risks associated with anaesthesia and surgery. All surgical patients are given appropriate drugs to control pain. To make anaesthesia as safe as possible patients are monitored individually by a veterinary nurse, using appropriate electronic equipment when needed. REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS Please give at least 48 hours notice for repeat prescriptions of medicines and food. In accordance with the RCVS and Veterinary Medicines Directorate recommendations, all pets receiving prescription medicines need to be regularly re-examined by a veterinary surgeon. HOME DELIVERY SERVICE We offer a free-of-charge delivery service in the local area when you order more than £ 30 worth of food and / or medication from any of our surgeries. FEES In order to keep costs under control, fees are payable at the time of consultation or at the discharge appointment following surgery. The surgery is happy to accept cash and most credit / debit cards. An estimate of fees is always given prior to the procedure.
