24hr care:
Hospitalisation at our Purleigh surgery does not offer 24hr in-house care. Our patients are looked after during surgery hours. If your pet requires 24hr monitoring, veterinary staff will recommend alternative care and you will be offered referral to Vets Now for this service. The pet will then be returned to Edgewood the following morning for continued care and treatment.
