I had a very distraught friend contact me at 10pm last night, suspecting one of her dogs had been poisoned. Did I know where she could get help at that time of night?
After much searching, I found the answer very close to home in our own HHBD Biz Directory. An on call vet was listed.
I got my wife to call the number 032 514246. The on duty vet said that home visits were only available during normal opening, but there was a 24 Hour A&E type facility available at the Animal Hospital on Soi 58 (where she was talking from), and we could take the dog in right away.
I immediately drove out to pick up the dog and owner, and drove them to the clinic.
When we arrived at the clinic, it was just like a NHS A&E Dept, minus the 4 hour waiting times. Dog was taken straight in, examined, treated and given a bed for the night, where they could keep an eye on him - 1500 Baht.
I'm sharing this because I certainly wasn't aware of the 24 hour emergency service, but have certainly stored the information for the future.

Re: Emergency 24 Hour Vetinary Service
As you suggest, a very useful number to have for an emergency - any idea if they would be able to deal with a snakebite?
Re: Emergency 24 Hour Vetinary Service
I've no idea, but I'd be surprised if they weren't.

Well I hope never to have to put it to the test, but definitely a place to try in such an event.Big Boy wrote:I've no idea, but I'd be surprised if they weren't.
Re: Emergency 24 Hour Vetinary Service
The big question is if there is such a thing as anti-venom for a dog? Or does the human version work on them? I don't know the answer but probably worthwhile finding out. Pete

I'm almost sure the Vetinary Teaching Hospital on the south side of HH are open 24 hours.

Re: Emergency 24 Hour Vetinary Service
Soi 56 & Soi 58 are the one way (unless you're Thai) system leading to and from the Klong Road crossroads.
When you get to the crossroads, turn right and the hospital is almost immediately on your right. Unfortunately, you have to drive about a mile each way to/from the u-turn to actually get to the hospital.
