Additional Veterinary Services at Abby Vet

At Abby Veterinary Hospital and Emergency in Abbotsford, our support for dogs and cats extends beyond examinations and procedures. Our additional services include hospitalization, on-site veterinary products, oxygen support, specialist referrals, and in-house glucose monitoring. These services ensure that your pet receives comprehensive, connected care, whether they are staying with us for observation or being supported through a complex health situation.

Hospitalization

When a pet requires close observation, intravenous fluid support, or ongoing monitoring between procedures, our hospitalization services provide a calm and supervised environment for recovery. Our team monitors hospitalized pets consistently, assessing vital signs, comfort levels, hydration, and response to care. We keep you informed throughout your pet's stay with updates on their progress and discharge instructions so you know exactly what to expect when they come home.

On-Site Dispensing

Abby Vet maintains an on-site selection of veterinary products including preventive care products, specialized nutritional items, and veterinary-recommended supplements. Having products available directly from our clinic means your pet can begin their care plan without delay. Our team recommends only products appropriate for your individual pet's health status and needs, and explains how and when to use each item clearly.

Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen support is available for pets experiencing respiratory compromise, recovering from anesthesia, or requiring stabilization in a critical care situation. Oxygen is delivered in a calm, comfortable manner appropriate for your pet's size and condition. Our team monitors oxygen levels and adjusts delivery as your pet's condition improves. Oxygen support is a key component of our emergency stabilization capabilities.

Specialist Referrals

For cases that require the expertise of a board-certified veterinary specialist, our team coordinates referrals to appropriate veterinary specialists in the region. We provide a full summary of your pet's history, diagnostic results, and current care plan to the specialist before the appointment, ensuring a smooth and informed handoff. We remain involved in your pet's care and coordinate follow-up once the specialist's assessment is complete.

In-House Glucose Testing

Blood glucose monitoring is an important tool in the management of pets with diabetes mellitus and in the assessment of pets presenting with weakness, collapse, or altered mentation. Our in-house glucose testing provides fast results that allow our team to respond quickly in time-sensitive situations and to monitor diabetic patients closely during their visits. We also guide owners of diabetic pets on home monitoring and recognizing signs of blood sugar fluctuations between appointments.
