Some common examples of emergencies
  • Trauma patients
    e.g. animals that have been hit by a car, or have lost large amounts of blood
  • Animals that have been poisoned
  • Animals having difficulty breathing
  • Animals that are having trouble urinating

  • If you suspect that your pet has been poisoned, please assist by having the details of the poison on hand. If possible, please bring in the packaging or the container as well. This will assist us to identify the poison, and and help us to administer the best antidote.
