Common Levels of Care

The inpatient department is divided into special care (monitored hourly), A1 (monitored every 2 hours), A2 (monitored every 4 hours), and A3, with monitoring levels decreasing sequentially.

These animals have undergone mastectomies, total hip replacement (THR) surgeries, and suffer from conditions such as anemia. They require real-time monitoring to ensure their vital signs remain stable and they recover steadily. Only then can we guarantee their healthy discharge from the hospital.

Here, nurses and resident veterinarians work together to safeguard the health of hospitalized animals.
