    When Should I Seek Emergency Care for My Pet?

  • Electric shock
  • Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
  •  Bleeding
  • Exhibits symptoms of heat stroke
  • Seizures
  • Sudden onset of weakness
  • High or low temperature (more than 104 or less than 100 degrees)
  • Unable to urinate or defecate
  • Unresponsive
  • Hit by car

    If ever there is a time that you are unsure, feel free to call and speak with the staff and we can help guide you in deciding if you need to bring your pet in.
