Common Emergency Signs
These are just a few of the issues that may need emergency medical assistance for your pet. You know your pet and if you find their behaviour changes for unknown reasons, you may want to get them checked out as soon as possible. Use your best judgement and rather have your pet checked to find they are perfectly healthy than not get treatment when something may be wrong.
After Hours Care & Emergencies
While day-to-day care, annual check-ups, vaccinations and many other issues can be handled during normal business hours, sometimes emergencies occur that require after hours care.
Some emergencies are obvious such as an accident, severe injury, seizures and so forth. Most pets will however not show severe pain and illness until they are in dire straits. This can make it difficult to determine if you need emergency care for your pet or not.
If you are unsure, contact us and we can advise on whether or not to seek emergency attention or if it can wait until normal operating hours.
Our clinic is open 7-days a week and will always prioritise emergency patients.
