Hi this is Dana from New Hope Animal Hospital, calling to confirm appointment on
Wednesday August 3rd at 3:00PM with the dr/tech. Thank you, we will see you then.
** remind to bring fecal fresh within 12 hours if due/cats say to clean the litter box out the
night before and anything in there the next day should be good to bring in, just make sure if
you have clumping litter to get stool not urine. Ok to have litter on it.
** fasting from food (12 HOURS) for non diabetic dogs only. Water is ok.
** NP/NC remind to bring paperwork if necessary, that is if the note doesn't state it was
already sent.
** this is also a good time to check and make sure if a pet is scheduled for vaccines that they
are in fact due and appropriately scheduled.
DISCHARGE PETS FROM HOSPITAL VS SURGERY
When a client comes for discharge of their pet from HOSPITAL (for example; glucose curves,
sedate for procedures, sick pets, etc.)
You will need to find the specific technician who was in charge of the pet. They will either
invoice the chart for you or ok for you to invoice the chart. In some situations if the specific
technician for that pet has left for the day you can ask any technician and they will often be
able to help out.
When a client comes for a discharge of their pet from SURGERY (for example; OHE, neuter,
dental, lumpectomy, VSS)
If the chart is checked RTG you can check out the client with their charges. Then explain to
the owner that we will get them checked out and then a technician or receptionist (depending
on who their going home instructions are scheduled with) will go over after care instructions.
If with a technician you will page “when there is a technician available Skye's owner(s) are
waiting for going home instructions.” Then a technician will come up and go over all after
care instructions with the owner(s).
