Wilbur’s Story

Introduction

We often get asked as to what happens when a pet is admitted into the clinic for the day for an operation or treatment.

Wilbur, a very handsome Italian Spinone, takes us through his day when he was admitted for a small surgical procedure.

Admittance

Vet Jon Slattery gives Wilbur a thorough health examination on the morning of his procedure with owner Mr Lowe.

Consent Form

 

Veterinary nurse Kirsty Ryley goes through Wilbur’s consent for surgery form with Mr Lowe before asking him to sign it.

Settling In

Veterinary Nurse Kirsty Ryley settles Wilbur into a nice big comfy bed to relax prior to his procedure.

Surgery
