About Us…..
One of our main practice policies is the PREVENTION of PAIN, and looking after the WELFARE of all animals (pets or wildlife) that are in our premises and under our care.
Our hospitalised cases (medical cases or day in-patients), are only discharged when they are ready, in terms of walking, eating, drinking and mentally aware of their surroundings.
Our emergency service is covered by Vets Now Eastbourne (evenings and including Saturday late afternoon and Sunday all day and night). Nevertheless all our in patients do remain hospitalised at Horsebridge Veterinary Practice, weekdays and weekends, until they are ready to be discharged. Out of hours, please Tel 01323 301292
Our caring nurses have very broad areas of interest, including anaesthesia of very challenging cases, intensive care; treatment and management of wounds, physiotherapy; including laser therapy in a multimodal type of cases, exotic (birds and reptiles), medicine and surgery, and intensive care.
