Is Your Pet Having an Emergency?

- Heat exhaustion
- Lack of bowel movements
- Lethargy or Anorexia
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Poison ingestion
- Seizure or collapse
- Trauma or injury
- Uncontrolled bleeding
We welcome you to contact our office for advice, but when in doubt, seek veterinary care as soon as possible.
