If your pet experiences any of the following, it is crucial to seek emergency care:
Trauma or Injury: Accidents, falls, or encounters with vehicles can result in life-threatening injuries, including broken bones, internal bleeding, or severe wounds.
Sudden Illness: If your pet displays sudden and severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, seizures, uncontrolled bleeding, or loss of consciousness, immediate medical intervention is necessary.
Toxicity or Ingestion of Harmful Substances: Ingesting toxic plants, chemicals, medications, or other harmful substances can have serious consequences and requires immediate evaluation and treatment.
Difficulty Giving Birth: If your pet is experiencing complications during labor or unable to deliver her puppies or kittens, emergency veterinary care is vital for the health and well-being of both the mother and her offspring.
Severe Pain: If your pet is exhibiting signs of severe pain, such as vocalization, restlessness, or reluctance to move, it is essential to seek emergency care as it could be an indicator of a serious underlying condition.

While emergencies are unpredictable, we encourage pet owners to attempt to call ahead whenever possible. Notifying us of the situation in advance allows our team to prepare the necessary resources and personnel to address your pet’s needs immediately upon arrival. However, please remember that if you are in a critical situation, do not hesitate to bring your pet directly to us for emergency care.
