When should I consult in an emergency?
Since your furry companions can't verbalize their pain, it's sometimes difficult to understand what's happening to them and know when it's urgent. Pay attention to their body language and their general state, it is their way of communicating with you.
Here is a list of conditions that excuse an emergency visit to our centres:
- Absence of urine
- Difficult delivery
- Energy drop
- Loss of appetite
- Eye injury
- Heatstroke
- Epileptiform seizure
- Abnormal gait
- Persistent diarrhea
- Difficulty breathing
- Ingestion of an object
- Poisoning
- Bite or open wound
- Loss of consciousness
- Trauma or accident
- Abnormal vomiting
What differentiates an emergency and referral centre from your neighbourhood hospital or clinic is also the technologic equipment used there. Our teams have on-site access to more complete and state-of-the-art equipment (MRI, CT-Scan, on-site laboratory, etc.) to be able to make a complete diagnosis more quickly.
With more than 35 years of clinical expertise, our three teams in Brossard, Montreal and Laval care about the health and well-being of your pet. They always adopt a global and human approach in order to accompany you throughout the care of your animal.
