Is this really an emergency?

When should you take your pet to an emergency care facility? Obviously, problems like trauma, seizures, severe vomiting or diarrhea need immediate attention. But what about minor problems? How do you know if you should take your pet to the hospital in the middle of the night or wait until your veterinarian opens? A good general guideline is IF IN DOUBT SEEK EMERGENCY CARE. Many serious conditions may appear as a minor problem. Your pet can’t always communicate how much pain he or she is in. So, if in doubt, seek emergency care.

What to Expect

Call to let us know that you are coming if you are able. This lets us prepare for your arrival and speeds the process. If your pet cannot walk, please let us know when you call, so that we may ready a gurney and the assistance necessary to swiftly transport your pet to ICU. After your arrival, our nursing and client care staff will work with you to obtain information about you and your pet. We cannot predict our caseload from minute to minute. We regularly reevaluate each patient to determine which patient requires care most urgently. In the case of heavy patient load, we ask for your patience and promise to keep you informed of changes to the best of our abilities. If your pet is critically injured or critically ill, we will administer pain medications and other treatments necessary to stabilize your pet while we discuss treatment plans and patient care with you. We will discuss costs of your pet’s care at this time, and will expect payment for care at the time of your visit. We are committed to discussing the financial costs associated with all courses of treatment. We offer different forms of financing for those who need it.

High five kudos to Dr. Killman! She, with the help of the entire treating staff saved our TomTom’s life! Dr. Killman, Dr. Welch and Dr. Smith have renewed my faith in the caring veterinarian that we were looking for.

I20 is the greatest !! They gave us four extra years with our precious Yorkie, Cujo, and are helping us take care of our other precious Yorkie, Carrie, who is diabetic. They are deep in our hearts.

The technical staff in the ICU is excellent and equally professional in providing the care, we feel, brought about Brandi’s recovery.
