If your pet is experiencing any of the following, call us right away:
Abscesses or localized swelling
Limping or difficulty walking
Minor cuts, scrapes, or wounds
Coughing, sneezing, or fever
Skin allergies or hives
Ear infections or head shaking
Mild vomiting or diarrhea
Unusual behavior or lethargy
We recommend calling ahead if possible so we can prepare for your pet’s arrival and offer guidance over the phone.
While we’re equipped for a wide range of urgent concerns, some situations require immediate emergency care.
Seek emergency vet care if your pet has:
Difficulty breathing or gasping
Repeated seizures
Ingestion of a foreign object or toxin
Trauma (e.g., hit by a car, fall from height)
Difficulty giving birth
Severe bloating or unproductive vomiting (dry heaving)
Loss of consciousness
No food or water intake for over 48 hours
Not sure what level of care your pet needs? Call us — we’ll help guide you.
HEAL partners with VetTriage to provide 24/7 video telehealth consultations when we’re closed. Their licensed vets assess your pet via live video and advise whether immediate emergency care is necessary or if monitoring at home is safe.
