PATIENT ADMISSION INFO
Always call ahead before bringing any patient to our Hospital.
To protect the welfare of our patients the Hospital is not open to the general public.
Patient updates can only be given over the phone between 4:30-6pm.
We are not able to provide a rescue service for wildlife casualties.
We do not have a full time vet onsite at all times.
If you have found a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal, please visit our ‘Wildlife Advice’ page first. If you need further advice, please call our Helpline and listen to the options carefully.
Always telephone us before bringing wildlife casualties to the Hospital so that we can give you advice on the best course of action for the welfare of the bird or animal. We do not have a vet on site at all times so you may be redirected to a local vet if the patient needs treatment.
The phones are answered by the same team caring for the patients, 7 days a week. An out of hours volunteer answers the calls outside of our admission hours for emergencies only.
For emergency cases outside of our admission hours, please call and take the patient to your local out of hours vet. They have a duty of care to help and cannot charge you.
