What Constitutes a Pet Emergency?
Recognizing when your pet needs emergency care can make a significant difference in their health and recovery. Some situations require immediate medical attention, while others may be less urgent. If you’re unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, contact us for guidance. In critical cases, we will recommend seeking care at a fully equipped emergency hospital right away.
Common Signs That Require Urgent Veterinary Attention
- Difficulty breathing or choking
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea, especially if blood is present
- Severe lethargy, collapse, or unresponsiveness
- Seizures or loss of consciousness
- Ingestion of toxic substances such as chocolate, xylitol, medications, or household chemicals
- Visible wounds, broken bones, or excessive bleeding
- Straining or inability to urinate, which can be life-threatening, especially in male cats
If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, call us immediately. If we determine that your pet requires emergency hospital care, we will direct you to a nearby facility and follow up on their condition.
Emergency Care During Business Hours
During our regular business hours, we make every effort to accommodate urgent cases. Our team will assess your pet’s condition and provide stabilization when possible. However, there are limitations to the emergency services we can provide. If your pet is in critical condition, we recommend seeking immediate care at an emergency hospital and will follow up to check on their progress.
What We Can Do
- Triage and evaluate your pet’s condition to determine the next steps
- Perform on-site diagnostics such as X-rays and bloodwork

- Offer flow-by oxygen therapy for a limited time if needed
What We Cannot Do

If your pet’s condition requires specialized or intensive care, we will stabilize them as best as possible and refer you to a nearby emergency hospital for further treatment.
After-Hours Emergency Care Options
Since our clinic does not provide overnight hospitalization, we recommend that pet owners seek emergency care at a fully equipped 24-hour veterinary hospital for critical cases.
