Is This a Veterinary Emergency?

If you’re unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. We recommend seeking emergency animal care immediately if your pet is experiencing:

  • Collapse or unresponsiveness
  • Difficulty breathing or blue gums
  • Seizures
  • Severe bleeding or trauma (e.g., hit by a car)
  • Swollen or painful abdomen
  • Ingestion of toxic substances
  • Inability to urinate or pass stool
  • Sudden severe lameness or paralysis

If your pet’s symptoms are less severe but still urgent, please visit our Urgent Care page to learn more.
