In Case of an Emergency

As we all have probably experienced at some point, emergencies rarely occur at convenient times, and sometimes it’s difficult to know whether a situation constitutes a true emergency. If you are unsure, please call our office or the emergency clinics in the area and ask for guidance.

As a general guideline, situations that could be true emergencies include:

Trauma, such as getting hit by a car or attacked by another animal
Active bleeding
Suspected “Bloat” (tight, swollen, painful abdomen and/or gagging or unproductive vomiting)
Difficulty breathing
Blue or pale gum color
Difficulty urinating (especially in male cats)
Collapse or loss of consciousness
Seizures
Difficulty giving birth
Eye injuries
Possible broken bones
Any suspected poisoning
Excessive watery, bloody diarrhea
Persistent vomiting
