Emergency Care

We are equipped to handle urgent and emergency care for your pet during our normal business hours. Please call ahead if possible so we can be prepared for your arrival.

Emergencies include:

Respiratory distress (trouble breathing), or blue/purple gums
Trauma, such as being hit by a car or attacked by another animal
Not being able to urinate
Seizures
Severe pain
Severe vomiting
Rattlesnake bite
Heat stroke
Collapse
Ingestion of a toxin, or xylitol (an artificial sweetener)

If your pet has ingested a toxin or medication that isn’t meant for them, please bring the package in with you.

You can also call Kansas State University’s free 24-hour pet poison control hotline at 785-532-5679. They can tell you if the amount of toxin ingested is poisonous for your pet, but we may still need to see your pet to treat them so the toxin will not be absorbed.
