Determining If Your Pet Is Having A Pet Health Emergency

You are your pet’s best advocate. If you feel you have a veterinary emergency, it is an emergency to us as well.

A veterinary emergency occurs when a pet’s condition requires immediate attention to prevent serious harm or death. Common emergencies we see include:

Difficulty breathing
Seizures or collapse
Severe trauma (e.g., hit by a car)
Uncontrolled bleeding
Inability to urinate or defecate
Sudden paralysis
Ingestion of toxins
Unresponsiveness
Severe vomiting or diarrhea
Extreme pain or distress

If your pet is showing any of these signs, contact your veterinarian or an emergency clinic right away for immediate care.
