Dog & Cat Isolation Wards
From time to time we have animals suffering from highly contagious diseases that are extremely unwell and need hospitalisation for intensive treatment. We have separate isolation facilities to hospitalise and treat these animals in order to keep other animals in the practice safe from infection.
The most common contagious diseases we see are often leptospirosis and parvovirus in dogs. These animals can be vaccinated against these potentially fatal disease and so we highly recommend that this is done.
Isolation wards for dogs and cats are specialised areas within the practice designed to house and care for animals that may have contagious or infectious diseases, or those that need to be isolated for medical reasons.
Our Isolation wards serve to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, protect healthy animals, and provide a controlled environment for animals recovering from surgery or other medical procedures.
Materials and surfaces in our isolation wards are chosen for ease of cleaning and disinfection to maintain a sanitary environment.
Medical Monitoring and Care
Our Isolation wards are equipped with necessary monitoring devices to observe vital signs and track the progress of each animal. We ensure an adequate supply of medical equipment, medications, and supplies needed for treating isolated animals is maintained.
All our patients have comfortable and clean bedding suitable for the their individual requirements.
If appropriate we will provide toys, treats, and environmental enrichment activities to reduce stress and provide mental stimulation.
We have Strict isolation protocols to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and minimize contact between animals. Our Biosecurity protocols are implemented to ensure that disease transmission is minimized through proper cleaning, disinfection, and waste management.
Our isolation ward plays a vital role at Chaseview Vets by providing a controlled and safe environment for animals requiring special care due to medical conditions, ensuring the well-being of both the isolated animals and the larger animal population.
