If you ever notice your pet behaving differently or suspect there might be a problem, you can contact an emergency veterinary clinic. They will be able to tell you if you should bring in your pet or if you can wait until our normal business hours. Even if you feel silly, you will be able to sleep easy knowing that everything will be alright.

If your pet is seizing, is unconscious, is having trouble breathing, choking, or not breathing, is vommiting blood, has possible broken bones, is bleeding, has eaten poison, is not urinating or having bowel movements, your pet is limping or showing signs of extreme pain, is shaking or is delivering puppies, contact the emergency clinic immediately.

Be prepared for an emergency by posting the emergency clinic number and address by the phone, ask Dr. Dayton what you should do in the event of an emergency and most importantly, stay calm.
