When Seconds Count: Handling Pet Emergencies

Even though we are a mobile clinic, we are not an emergency ambulatory service. Thus, we are unable to accommodate immediate emergencies. We try to see all patients on an appointment basis and will see non-life threatening emergencies as time, schedule and location allow.

If your pet has any of the following problems, don’t reach for the phone. Take your pet directly to an animal hospital for assistance:

• Major trauma (hit by car, broken leg, attacked by animal, etc.)

• Uncontrollable bleeding

• Difficult, rapid or labored breathing

• Disorientation, weakness or seizures

• Loss of consciousness, stupor

• Severe vomiting or diarrhea

• Venomous snake, spider or insect bite
