What Constitutes an Emergency?

We are available to provide prompt, compassionate care for your pets when you have an emergency or urgent medical situation. We do not offer routine pet care such as vaccines, spays or neuters, or dental cleanings.

Please don’t hesitate to call or come in if you think that your pet needs emergency assistance. It is helpful to call ahead so that we may be better prepared for your arrival. This will also give us the opportunity to make recommendations for first aid or safe transport if it is necessary.

 

Some situations that can be considered urgent or an emergency are

 

Bleeding -- Bleeding from any part of the body; blood in the urine or stool.

Vomiting and/or diarrhea -- Many repeated episodes in a short period, or intermittently over a period of days or weeks.

Convulsions or fainting -- Violent shaking of the head or body with uncontrolled spasms; loss of consciousness.

Lethargy -- Lack of normal tolerance for exercise; reduced energy or playfulness.

Pain -- Limping or favoring a leg; crying or showing signs of pain when touched.

Eye Problems -- Redness, discharge, squinting, cloudiness of the eye; a foreign object in the eye, or difficulty seeing.

Weight loss -- Dramatic unexplained loss in body weight, or gradual weight loss over weeks or months.

Changes in appetite -- Refusing food or water; eating more or less than usual.

Changes in urination -- Urinating larger amounts, urinating frequently, urinating only small drops, or difficulty urinating.

Breathing problems – Shortness of breath, extending head and neck to breathe; wheezing.

Abnormal color of the gums – Gums should be pink; gums that are dark red, white, pale or blue can be a sign of an emergency.
