- Straining to urinate and / or blood in urine
- Convulsions or seizures
- Trauma (hit by a car, falling out of a window, a fight with another animal, etc.)
- Injury or irritation to the eyes
- Exposure to poison or toxic chemicals
- Inability to deliver puppies or kittens
- Burns
- Lacerations or bleeding wounds
For our established clients, we offer an after-hours pager service from Monday - Friday, 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday - Sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. As part of this service, clients are given a number to call in order to speak with a veterinary technician in the case of minor emergencies.
