Emergency and Urgent Care Policy
We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty six days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent need your pet may have. An emergency team usually consists of at least one veterinarian and several nurses working together to save your pet’s life. Emergencies can include situations like poisoning, being hit by a car, or ingestion of toxic substances such as chocolate. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment, do not hesitate to call or come in immediately.
Are You Prepared for a Pet Emergency?
Just like humans, pets can experience unexpected accidents or injuries that require immediate attention. It can sometimes be difficult to know if your pet’s condition warrants emergency care or not. Below are some common signs that your pet may need emergency attention.
Trauma
If your pet has experienced trauma, such as being hit by a car or suffering a severe blow, seek veterinary care immediately. Even if you’re unsure how to transport your pet safely after an accident, contact us for advice on stabilizing them on your way to the hospital.
Seizures
Seizures can occur due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Whether your pet has had a seizure in the past or this is the first occurrence, it’s critical to get them medical attention as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause.
Urinary Emergency
Blockages in the urinary tract caused by bladder or kidney stones can be life-threatening. If your pet is unable to urinate or shows signs of distress, immediate care is necessary to prevent toxin buildup in their body.
Foreign Body
Pets often eat things they shouldn’t, which can lead to blockages in their digestive tract. If your pet is vomiting, straining to defecate, or showing signs of lethargy, it’s important to seek emergency care immediately.
Breathing Problems
If your pet is struggling to breathe, this is a clear sign of a serious issue. Breathing difficulties can stem from heart failure, allergic reactions, blockages, or other medical conditions. Seek emergency care immediately.
