Patients requiring overnight hospitalisation are transferred to our hospital where on-site nursing and veterinary care is administered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Spring Lodge use Vet Now Ltd to provide their ‘out of hours’ service. They provide a dedicated service much like that of the A & E department and are available for emergency assistance or advice from within our Witham Hospital between 8pm and 8am and from 12.30pm Saturday to 8am Monday.
