Emergencies requiring advanced care
While we provide a wide range of urgent care services, some situations require more intensive monitoring and aftercare. For these cases, we refer pets to specialized emergency veterinary clinics. However, if we are the closest location to you, we are always willing to see your pet to make the transition to the ER as safe as possible.
Examples of such emergencies include:
- Gastric dilatation with volvulus (bloat): A life-threatening condition that requires immediate surgical intervention.
- Mesenteric torsion: A critical situation where the intestines twist, cutting off blood flow and requiring emergency surgery.
- Colonic torsion: Another severe condition involving the twisting of the colon, necessitating urgent care.
- Hemoabdomen due to bleeding/ruptured masses: A condition where internal bleeding occurs, often from ruptured tumors, requiring immediate attention.
