We want to update all of our clients regarding the current situation surrounding the Covid-19 outbreak and how it affects veterinary work…
WEDNESDAY 3RD JUNE UPDATE…
Headings covered that you can read more about here… ‘What to expect at the clinic’, ‘Work we can do and work we can’t’ as well as ‘Should I have my pet vaccinated’…
We are continuing to work according to guidance given to us by our regulatory and advisory bodies – RCVS, BVA and BSAVA. The aim is still to minimise person to person contact to help reduce the spread of Covid-19 and we are still having to consider whether a procedure is deemed to be clinically necessary once we have weighed up the relative risks/implications to your pet alongside trying to reduce the risks that we may present to you regarding Covid-19 and you to us. Please bear in mind that every animal we examine (or in particular sedate/anaesthetise) means we have to break social distancing to do so and the fact we are still working on a skeleton staff means we may not be able (or allowed by our governing body) to do certain procedures just yet. We are in a transition phase of trying to return to normal over the month of June and hope that in July, we will be able to offer a more complete level of services (albeit still with a closed door policy and admitting patients whilst maintaining social distancing with the public etc).
Your pets’ health and welfare is incredibly important to us. This situation is unprecedented and we hope you can support us during this difficult time for all involved.
