Today I spent some time at an animal hospital in Bangkok. This is not a tiny clinic, not a small strip mall vet place. This was a real live, huge HOSPITAL, the public “Animal Hospital At Kasetsart”.

I had a bit of mixed feelings on the place at first. With people suffering and doing without so nearby spending thousands of dollars on your dog for MIR scans and spinal surgeries seemed wasteful. But after spending many hours in the hospital my feelings began to change. Here we’re loving people with their beloved family pets, all they wanted to do was take care of them, allow them to live a bit longer. What’s wrong with that? Love and protecting lie is always a good thing.
At the hospital the main patients were dogs, probably 70-80% were canines. Second in line were cats but I also saw a bird today as well as a hedgehog of some kind with a damaged tail. It was rather an amazing place, it functioned like a real person hospital in every way. Doctors, nurses, medical scans, surgeries, hi end quality equipment, hospital bed over night rooms, surgery suites. Dogs were being wheeled about accompanied by 3 or 4 person medical staff, while receiving oxygen and with a IV bag hanging off a raised metal stand! Never seen anything quite like it before, the scope of the place was huge. I guess originally the hospital was open only in the mornings, then mornings and afternoons, and now mornings, afternoons and evenings!
