Due to the State mandate in Governor Cuomo’s address on Friday March 20, 2020, Dickin Memorial Animal Hospital will be closed for routine examinations and elective procedures until further notice. Previously, the State included veterinary medicine as an “essential service”. It became more defined on Friday stating only “emergency veterinary medicine and livestock services” are essential and thus 75 % work force will need to stay home and services/access will be limited.
THIS IS NOT TO SAY IF YOUR PET NEEDS HELP, MEDICATIONS or TREATMENTS we will not see you. Contrary, I myself am here to serve the critters as well as a few DMAH staff. Access to the hospital and how we will be serving you has changed however:
- Please call ahead to make us aware of your situation- pick up meds, emergency etc.
- When you arrive, stay in your car and call from your car to let us know you are here and again why
- Someone will be out shortly to either handoff meds and accept payment or get your history and animal.
- After examination, the doctor will call with findings and plan of action. If the animal is to go home, the animal will be brought back out to you and payment taken at that time. If animal is hospitalized, we will need paper work gone over and minimally a verbal acceptance received.
New Hours of operation are Monday thru Friday 8am – 5 pm. Emergency after hours still available – call the regular office number (607) 217-5202 and follow the prompts.
The ancillary services at DICKIN MEMORIAL ANIMAL HOSPITAL are closed until further notice. This includes the hotel.
