The Emergency Veterinary Clinic (EVC) provides both after-hours emergency
care and continuous critical care for pets who are unstable. The EVC
is equipped to handle any pet emergency with speed and skill.
Emergency Care
Emergency care may require placing intravenous catheters, administering
IV fluids, pain medications, oxygen therapy and sometimes blood or plasma
transfusions. The EVC's in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and
red blood cell/plasma banks enable veterinarians to get crucial diagnostic
information and establish treatment plans very quickly.
24-Hour
Critical Care
During the hours your regular veterinarian is closed, the EVC can provide
continuous EKGs, oxygen support, fluid pumps, blood pressure monitoring
and other advanced procedures for pets in critical condition. Once pets
are stabilized, they can be transferred to their primary care vet for
follow up care.
Fees
Each patient is charged an initial fee to cover the doctor's examination
and consultation. Additional fees may be necessary for diagnostics and
treatments depending on your pet's condition. An estimate of these charges
will be discussed with you in advance.
