Emergency Care
Unfortunately, accidents happen and sudden, unexpected illnesses occur. The best thing that you can do is be prepared ahead of time and know exactly who you can call in your time of need. If your pet has an emergency outside of our office hours, we encourage you to contact one of the veterinary emergency clinics listed:
Monday-Sunday
Memphis Veterinary Specialist & Emergency 1-901-624-9002
Friday-Sunday
Allied Animal ER 870-316-6281
Some of the signs that your pet may need urgent medical care include:
- Difficulty breathing
- Choking
- Ingestion of a toxic substance or foreign object
- Swollen abdomen
- Difficulty urinating
- Vomiting or diarrhea that contains blood or lasts longer than 24 hours
- Broken bones
- Cuts, puncture wounds or lacerations
- Traumatic injury, such as from a fall or being struck by a vehicle
- Disorientation
- Lameness
- Convulsions/seizures
- Unconsciousness
Family emergencies can be frightening – including those that involve our animal family members. Let us take away some of the worry and provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that help is always just a phone call away. If an emergency happens during the day 7:45-5:00 please call us to assist you.
