University Veterinary Hospital, Kokkalai - Hospital in Thrissur - Thrissur, India

Pets friendly, and the area is quite tidy. Exceptionally competent and good doctors.

Came early for consultation with my kitten. Timely consultation and lab results. Neat hospital. Enough space for parking.

Humbly request all of you to think twice before you take your pet to this location. We had purchased a puppy literally a week ago and took her to this hospital for my pets fungal treatment. In the end, the puppy ended up contracting parvo virus and passed away. I have often noticed that the table these dogs are treated on are often not sanitised properly after the table has been used. What is the point of running a highly rated govt. Veterinary hospital when when the chances of contracting diseases are high ?? And for those who are going to tell me that the puppy could have contracted parvo from the petshop, there were plenty of other pets who were in contact with her before we took her home. How come they are all right while this baby is buried?

Extremely busy!!! But, that is to be expected. The rates for opening a file is just 30 rupees! In this day and age, this is unheard and quite a blessing for many. Now, despite being a govt organisation, it is relatively well run and well maintained. Must appreciate that. Timings - pls see attached photo. Do note that due to covid, they are giving out tokens only after 8.45ish. Instead of the usual 8 am. But even now, huge lines. So pls be prepared to wait a while. The tests which your animals might require vary from 15 mins to 30 mins or so for the results to come out. Doctors- we were lucky enough to get Dr Vinod, the HOD. Amazing doctor!! The way he handles your animals and the way he explains things to you in an unhurried non condescending manner was such a such a huge relief and a delight. Wish all the vets were as sensitive to the animals as he is. Lots of common misconceptions were cleared up as well. Really grateful to him . Fair warning, lots of students around. Some points to be noted - if you are bringing a dog or a cat. Pls put them in their basket/carrier or on a leash. Carry some water for them as it might be a long wait. Not all animals are trained equally so please keep a distance if possible. Once you get the token (from the OP registration counter on the right once you enter the premises), have to wait in line outside ward 2 non infectious diseases, they will call out your token number. If you have to show your test results, unfortunately you have to use the same line (kindly use indian jugaad to show test results). Try to remember the name of the doctor or the student treating your animal in case you have to go back for showing test results. Overall - great place

The hospital is very much hygienic. Doctors service is also good Parking area is less

Its a government clinic. First I would like to say there is no Casualty unit for emergencies. The minor actions like IV, injections, are performed by second year students on university. Some of them.are not able to find vein for injection. And the animal become uncomfortable and struggled. Some of them inject bubbles during injection. Anyway your pet is a specimen for study for some hours. Students write case observations. may be not clear its better You need ask your animals and.next day you need explained to next doctor. But the gynecology unit have better experienced peoples. But you will be forced to come here because in this clinic have x rays. Ultrasound scan. And laboratory.

Let me share my experience. My dog was infected by fungus last month. We consult with a doctor in neibhourhood and he confirmed the fungus infection. He treated the dog for 4 weeks and there was no change. We consult with an another doctor in Karalam vetinary hospital who is my friend. He also confirmed that the dog was infected by fungus and the infection is in second stage. He told me it need three weeks Treatment, first week need to remove the fungus from body, second week he will treat the fungus reproduction and third week something else. The treatment was effective, but the dog became tired Due to daily bathing. The dog's legs trembled and he could not sleep on the ground. My mother was totally upset.The doctor referred me to this place. This place was crowded when I reach here. Need to take op ticket after reaching here. After waiting ina a queue of 6 people I can consult the doctor. The supervising doctor came and he asked few questions. Then he hand over to junior doctor. They asked a lot of questions, and she suspect there was some infection in blood. They did some blood and skin testing. They also noticed that the dog was suffering from fever. We wait for 1 hour for blood result, the problem I faced here was the supervising doctor who prescribe for blood test left the hospital that time. The result came by 1 pm so every doctors are in the mood to leave the hospital. Junior doctor consult with another senior doctor, and they also confirmed that it is fungus infection. They prescribe medicine for fungus. When I reach home back the dog was started to shivering again. I called my friend doctor again and he prescribed vamol 250 ml for fever. He also check the new medicines and said his diagnosis was same. He planned these medicines for the third week. After providing vamol for 2 days the dog is active now. The fungus infection is reduced now. The hair on the dog's body began to grow again. Verdict: The treatment here is good. But the problem is that you cannot consult with same doctor always. Blood test was prescribed by one doctor and he was not there when I got the result. So you have to explain everything to the new doctor again. Also they did not prescribe medicine for fever, I consult with my friend after reached home and he prescribe medicine for fever.
