Musashino Tadami Veterinary Hospital celebrates its first anniversary on World Animal Day (10/4)! Palliative care for critically ill animals at home in response to the "No Hospitalization Option

Tadami Veterinary Hospital" (formerly "Tadami Home Visiting Veterinary Hospital", Director: Keiko Tadami, Location: Musashino-shi, Tokyo), which specializes in house calls for dogs and cats, will celebrate its first anniversary on October 4, 2025 (Saturday), World Animal Day.

Based on its experience in nighttime emergency medical care, the hospital has strengthened its home medical services. As a result, as a "hybrid" veterinary hospital that combines "emergency medicine" and "home care," we provide a limited amount of palliative care for animals suffering from severe respiratory distress by removing pleural effusions at home.

■On the first anniversary of the hospital's opening: the significance of hybrid veterinary medicine

For the past one year, our hospital has been responding to the earnest wishes of families who wish to "spend their final days at home".

The original concept of "utilizing our emergency experience to fulfill the wishes of families at home," which we set forth when we first opened our clinic, has now come to fruition as a new model of veterinary care that combines prompt emergency response with meticulous home care.

■Thoracic drainage at home: Palliative medicine prepared to stand by life

We perform home pleural drainage only for animals with severe respiratory distress and their families who do not wish to be hospitalized.

We do not perform this procedure easily due to the risk of infection and sudden changes.

Experience in emergency medicine

Strict safety control using a portable echo system.

We will not perform this procedure easily because of the risk of infection and sudden changes in the patient's condition.

Based on these assumptions, this is a limited palliative medicine based on strict compliance with laws and regulations and risk management.

Our mission is to "protect the time when animals and their families can be close to each other until the last moment" by applying the knowledge of palliative medicine in human home care to veterinary medicine.

Director's Comment

As we celebrate the first anniversary of the opening of our clinic, we are reminded of our original mission of "preserving the time when animals and their families can be close to each other.

Our hybrid veterinary care has enabled us to combine the immediacy of emergency care with the meticulous care of home care.

We feel a strong responsibility to provide the best palliative care, including pleural drainage, to families who choose not to be hospitalized.

In order to sustainably provide this advanced and specialized home medical care, we will strive for sustainable business operations commensurate with our high quality expertise.
