The emergency services we provide include

In-house diagnostic laboratory

An in-house diagnostic laboratory for rapid test results.

digital radiography

A sophisticated digital radiography system that makes X-ray images available immediately, often reducing the need to sedate most patients for imaging. Plus, board-certified radiologists are available 24/7 to aid in interpretation if needed.

FAST ultrasound
FAST ultrasound (focused assessment with sonography for trauma), a rapid bedside ultrasound exam to screen for blood or fluid around the heart or abdominal organs after trauma, or identify tumors or foreign bodies. Comprehensive ultrasounds are available Monday–Thursday with the Internal Medicine Department.
Emergency surgery

Emergency surgery for those instances where immediate intervention is necessary such as wound repair, GDV (bloat), intestinal foreign body removal, C-sections, and several other abdominal surgeries.

Endoscopy
Endoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure using a tiny video camera attached to the end of a flexible or rigid tube that allows direct examination of inside hollow organs to find and extract foreign bodies.
Toxicity treatment
Toxicity treatment when a pet ingests a chemical or other potentially harmful substance.
Oxygen therapy
Oxygen therapy for respiratory distress, which can escalate quickly. Our oxygen cage uses advanced technology to provide the proper level of oxygen, temperature, and humidity for your pet while they are being stabilized.
Transfusion therapy
Transfusion therapy, used to treat such emergency conditions as trauma, heat stroke, parvovirus, auto-immune disease, and certain poison ingestions. We stock units of packed red blood cells, as well as frozen and fresh plasma for dogs and cats, ensuring the availability of these blood products at all times.
Blood pressure monitoring
Blood pressure monitoring, with two systems for monitoring: oscillometric and Doppler. The oscillometric system gathers computer -generated readings, while the Doppler system uses an ultrasound crystal probe to detect blood pressure by sound frequency changes. Our technical staff is skilled in both techniques and is able to provide doctors with timely updates on a patient’s blood pressure changes.
Intensive care
Intensive care for critically ill pets, including advanced monitoring with dedicated, specially trained personnel overseeing each patient.
