Steps to Take In A Pet Emergency
If you are experiencing a veterinary emergency, follow the steps below.
Call Ahead If Possible
During regular business hours call us right away. After hours, call the emergency animal hospital listed above to let them know you are on the way.
Follow Instructions Provided
Closely follow the instructions provided to you by the hospital when you call. They may provide you with instructions for first aid or offer advice on how to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
Remain Calm
Remain calm and be extra careful around your pet. When an animal is in pain they often react negatively towards anyone trying to help and could bite or scratch.
Bring Your Pet In For Care
Do not put yourself or your pet at risk! Safely bring your pet to our Newtown veterinary clinic or the after-hours emergency vet location above.
