Emergency Care

The practice has adopted the services of e-Vets Borders a specific emergency veterinary service based in Galashiels. Their specified team of veterinary surgeons & nurses is on site and available by telephone on:

01896 753759

In addition to providing first class critical care including hospitalisation where necessary they will be able to answer any queries you have regarding your pet’s immediate treatment. This is because unlike an A&E department in your local hospital the emergency team will have access to your pet’s medical records held in the practice here.

We have decided to support this initiative as we regard it as an enhancement in critical care and hospitalisation outside surgery hours. However, it also comes with the benefit that when you seek advice only the vet and nurse can read your pet’s medical records.

In the first instance always ring your local Robert Young surgery either Earlston or Kelso. If we’re not here the outgoing answer machine message will repeat the number above.

The following services have intimated that they would be willing to assist in the transport of small animals to the surgery.
