REFERRALS and urgent care
​

Diagnostic and Surgical Referrals

​At Coombs Veterinary Hospital, we have seen a recent need for additional diagnostic and surgical coverage in our local community. We have several vets with a special interest in advanced diagnostics and surgical procedures.

As such Coombs Veterinary Hospital is now proud to offer the following referral diagnostic and surgical services to clients on Vancouver Island. 


​
​​
​Urgent Care Services

We are currently experiencing a province-wide shortage of veterinarians. As such, many clinics are fully booked several weeks in advance. This can make it very difficult to find an available appointment for your pet when they experience an acute issue such as an ear infection, bladder infection, anal gland abscess, or bought of vomiting/diarrhea.

​Coombs Veterinary Hospital is now keeping one doctor available every day to see these urgent cases. The medical records and diagnostic results from these appointments will be returned to your primary care clinic to make sure your regular veterinarian is kept up to date on all of your animal's needs.
