REGARDING PATIENTS STAYING OVERNIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL:
At Pend Oreille Veterinary Service we do occasionally keep surgery patients in the hospital overnight
prior to, or after surgery. Every effort is made to make our environment as safe and comforting as
possible for your pet. However, we do want clients to be informed that we are not staffed 24 hours/day.
Your pet will be unattended overnight until the morning staff arrives. Based on availability, we can
sometimes arrange a technician to stay overnight with critical patients. For 24 hour monitoring we
recommend transport to a fully staffed emergency clinic. There are emergency clinics in Coeur d’Alene,
Post Falls and Spokane. Our doctors and staff are available to answer any questions you have regarding
your pet’s overnight care.
