Once Dr. White returns your call, he will assess the situation over the phone and determine the best course of action.

Emergency situations are those that pose an immediate threat to your pet’s life or require urgent intervention to prevent serious harm. These situations demand immediate attention and often involve severe symptoms or injuries. Some common examples of emergencies include:

• Difficulty breathing

• Uncontrolled bleeding

• Seizures

• Ingestion of toxic substances

• Severe trauma (e.g., hit by a car)

• Sudden collapse or unconsciousness

• Signs of extreme pain (e.g., crying out, unable to move)

In these critical moments, time is of the essence. If you suspect your pet is experiencing an emergency, it’s crucial to seek veterinary care at a veterinary emergency hospital immediately.

Urgent care involves medical issues that require prompt attention but are not life-threatening. These situations often cause discomfort or distress to your pet and need to be addressed promptly to prevent them from escalating into more serious problems. Please call us so that we can get you in if your pet is experiencing any of these conditions:

• Minor cuts or wounds

• Vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours

• Lameness or limping

• Ear infections

• Minor allergic reactions

• Persistent coughing or sneezing
