Know when it's necessary to take your pet to an emergency hospital.
If you notice that your pet is facing a life-threatening emergency, do not hesitate to contact the veterinary hospital immediately.
Be aware of the following emergencies that commonly affect pets:
Hit by a car or experienced any other significant traumatic event.
Difficulty breathing.
Seizures or convulsions.
Ingested poison or a toxic substance.
Difficulty urinating.
Uncontrolled bleeding.
Persistent or severe vomiting or diarrhea.
Swollen or distended abdomen.
If your pet has eaten something potentially toxic, bring the substance with you if it's safe to do so.
Do not administer any medication to your pet without first consulting your veterinarian. Many common human medications can be toxic to pets.
If possible, we recommend that you contact us by phone before your arrival. This will allow us to initiate the assessment of your pet's health, provide initial guidance, and prepare our emergency team.
