WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

Please do not hesitate to call with your questions or concerns. We would rather you call early than have your pet suffer needlessly or worsen overnight. Often we can advise you on what to do or what medications to give at home to keep your pet comfortable until our office is open. Please do not give human medications to your pet without checking with us first. Many human drugs are toxic to pets or are dosed very differently in animals. For instance, Tylenol and Advil are toxic to dogs and cats, and even a small amount of aspirin or Tylenol can be fatal for your cat.
