Whether it’s a car accident, collapse, severe wound, snake bite, poisoning, difficulty calving/foaling, or a sudden change in behaviour that doesn’t seem right, we’re here to help when you need us most.
We understand that emergencies are stressful. From the moment you arrive, our veterinarians act quickly to assess your animal’s condition, stabilise them and determine the best course of action. We’ll talk you through what’s happening, outline the treatment options and provide an estimate wherever possible. Because emergency cases can change rapidly, costs may shift depending on the level of care required, but we’ll keep you informed at every step.
If your animal needs intensive monitoring, advanced imaging or specialist treatment, we may recommend referral to a 24-hour emergency hospital or specialist centre. Your pet’s wellbeing is always our highest priority, and our team will discuss all options clearly and compassionately.
What to Do in an Emergency
If you’re concerned your animal is experiencing an emergency:
- Call us immediately so we can prepare for your arrival
- Keep your pet calm and secure during transport
- Avoid giving food or medication unless advised
- In livestock emergencies, provide your location clearly so we can dispatch help promptly
Emergencies are unpredictable, but you never have to face them alone. Our team is here to provide fast, skilled and supportive care whenever the unexpected happens.
