APPOINTMENTS

Appointments are seen on Mondays between the hours of 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. If your cat is a good candidate for the Radioactive Iodine procedure the cat will stay with us Monday evening and be treated on Tuesday. We ask that all new clients hand carry their pets radiographs from the referring veterinarian.

DAILY UPDATES

If your pet has been hospitalized, we know you are anxious to receive an update as soon as possible.  The technicians are able to give the most complete information after the doctors have done rounds and lab work has been completed. Rounds are between 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM, therefore we ask clients to call after 10:00 AM. After business hour updates may be given by the emergency staff at (610) 435 - 5588.

TELEPHONE CALLS

Monday- Friday 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM

The technical staff receives numerous calls per day and will return your calls as soon as possible usually within 24 hours of your call.  Please leave a daytime and evening phone number.

VISITATION

Due to the radioactive nuclides that are used the I131 unit is restricted to those who are trained in the use and safety of radioactive materials. No one is allowed to visit. We know and understand how difficult it is to leave your pet in the hospital for an extended period of time and hope that our daily phone calls will help to reduce some of the concerns you may have.

DISCHARGES

When your pet can be safely discharged, we will schedule a convenient time for you to pick up your cat.  A scheduled pick up time will allow us to prepare necessary paperwork so that your wait is minimal. The technician will go over the discharge instructions when you pick up your pet. Your referring veterinarian will receive a copy of your cat’s discharge instructions so they can perform the necessary follow up testing.
