Is your pet experiencing a life-threatening emergency? If so, please proceed immediately to the nearest emergency clinic. Conditions that cannot wait include the following:
• Breathing difficulty
• Seizure
• Collapse
• Trauma
Has your pet ingested a possible toxin? For some common household toxins, we can help figure out if it was a toxic dose. If not, we can direct you to other resources, such as the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. They can be reached at 888.426.4435 or found on the web at www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control.
Unsure if your pet needs emergency attention? Give us a call at 607.253.3060 and one of our trained staff will help you decide if your pet needs emergency care.
Not sure we’re the closest emergency hospital? Your local vet can help guide you to the closest clinic. If it’s after hours, your veterinarian’s answering service will likely direct you to a local emergency center.
