 ANIMAL MEDICAL HOSPITAL
FLOODING SITUATION UPDATE

The atmospheric river on Saturday, October 19, 2024 resulted in flooding along Bellevue Avenue outside the hospital. The hospital itself was completely untouched, but the water ran in a river into the underground parking levels, completely filling them. Many vehicles lost their lives (though no people or animals were harmed). More critically, the mechanical and electrical rooms were submerged. The power to the hospital has been turned off. There have been pumps running to remove water. Many inches of sludge will have to be removed, as well as the cars. The remediation process will then have to begin.

At this time we do not know when the power will be restored. The hospital is undamaged and is set to resume operations when it has electricity, but the reports as to when this will happen are varying widely at this time. The minimum credible estimate is 3 weeks. We don't even want to think about the maximum right now.
In the meantime: We are running appointments at Animal Medical Clinic on Georgia. We can do all of the usual outpatient things there, seeing sick pets and wellness exams, vaccines, etc. We do not yet have capacity to do x-rays or general anesthesia. We are working on arrangements for this with our friend and neighbour veterinarians.

 

Some important notes -

All of your pet's medical records are on the computers and are perfectly safe.

The phones from Animal Medical Hospital have been forwarded to AMC on Georgia
. If you call AMH, someone will answer. Except...
   We are having trouble with after hours messages at the moment - if it rings endlessly, forgive us. Call back during normal hours. We hope to have this fixed in the next day or two.

The same staff have always worked in both locations, so you'll know everyone you talk to - Woei, Janelle, Karin, Aoife, Allison, and Alexa.

We may be behind on reminders for a couple of weeks. If  you have important travel dates or need to make sure vaccines are updated for a certain time, please call.
 
===================

AMH is a general practice veterinary hospital located in West Vancouver, British Columbia. With the hospital only a block from the waterfront, the West Coast "atmosphere" permeates our practice both literally and figuratively.

AMC is an outpatient clinic near Coal Harbour in Vancouver. It's a short hop over the Lionsgate Bridge from the North Shore, and within easy walking distance for many downtown residents. The clinic is at the base of the east tower of the Lions Building, with a view of Georgia Street and the grassy, treed terraces out front. Click over to the "AMC on Georgia page" (up on the Home tab) and hit the Facebook link to get to the AMC page, or just click here.

Our goal at both practices is to provide medical care in a setting that is relaxing for you and your pets, and to have fun doing what we love. We hope you will refer your family and friends to our practice.

Feel free to browse through our site. If you want more information about our practice please call or email.

Thanks for visiting, and we look forward to serving you.
