OAKWOOD VETERINARY REFERRALS

To refer a case or for advice , please phone on

01606 871872.

If we are unavailable we will call you back as soon as possible.

We are also happy to report on radiographs sent to us.

When you do refer a case we will need

A referral letter or faxback form indicating the nature of the referral, any diagnostic tests carried out, the relevant part of the computer printout of patient notes

Please send us as much detail as you can even if they are reported as normal, including:

All laboratory test results
Original radiographs and/or MRI scans
Ultrasound reports
ECG Traces
Any medication the patient is on

We may decide to repeat some of the investigations and it is obviously useful to be able to compare previous results.

If the animal is already on medication (for example antibiotics, NSAIDs or steroids) tell us as we may want the medication to be stopped prior to the appointment.

We will usually contact the owners directly with the appointment details, but we do require a full history and all the results of any tests you have carried out. Please send any radiographs either with the owner or in the post prior to the appointment.

We will fax confirmation of the appointment to you and will send a written report, in due course

Faxback appointment forms can be downloaded from the links on the left

We regret that we are unable to answer queries from pet owners. If you require any advice about your pet you should contact your own veterinary surgeon
