CRITICAL CARE

Do you know where to turn in the event of a pet emergency?

As a caring pet parent, you never want to see your four-legged friend in distress. Unfortunately, unexpected illnesses and sudden accidents happen. At The Corner Vet, we want you to know that you’ve got a dedicated team of skilled professionals on your side.

Our hospital is equipped to administer life-saving critical care at a moment’s notice. With staff members who are experienced in emergency medicine, we can quickly identify the problem and deliver timely and effective care. Most importantly, we’ll handle your pet’s case with the utmost compassion, doing everything in our power to achieve a positive outcome.

Some of the signs that your pet may need urgent medical attention include:

• Difficulty breathing
• Ingestion of a toxic substance or foreign object  
• Broken bones
• Cuts, lacerations or puncture wounds
• Vomiting or diarrhea lasting longer than 24 hours
• Bleeding
• Trauma, such as from a fall or being hit by a car
• Swollen or tender abdomen
• Difficulty urinating
• Lameness
• Disorientation
• Foaming at the mouth
• Convulsions/seizures
• Loss of consciousness

If you notice any of these signs, seek assistance right away. We always recommend calling ahead in the event of an emergency. This allows us to evaluate the situation, provide first aid instructions and prepare for your pet’s arrival. Of course, should the nature of your pet’s emergency be too urgent for a phone call, don’t hesitate to come directly in for immediate attention.

We genuinely hope you never experience the need for emergency veterinary care. If you do, however, we want you to know who to call. The team at The Corner Vet will be here to provide the highest degree of care available.
