Pet Emergency Care

Emergencies can arise suddenly and require immediate veterinary attention. It is crucial for you to recognize signs of a potential emergency, such as:

• Severe injuries
• Difficulty breathing
• Sudden collapse
• Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
• Ingestion of toxic substances
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Seizures, or any other distressing symptoms

If you are unsure whether your pet's condition constitutes an emergency, contact our veterinary team for guidance right away.

If your pets are experiencing any of the above symptoms or any other signs of distress or illness, please follow these steps:

• Call us at (631) 669-1414 and let us know the nature and severity of your pet’s condition. We will advise you on what to do next and prepare for your arrival.
• Keep calm and try not to panic. Your pets can sense your emotions and may become more stressed or agitated if you are nervous or scared.
• Transport your pets safely and carefully to our hospital. Use a carrier or a leash to restrain your pets and prevent further injury. Avoid touching any injured areas or applying any home remedies unless instructed by us.

If possible, bring any relevant information or items with you, such as your pets’ medical records, medications, food labels, or samples of vomit or stool.

Our team is here to support you every step of the way. We'll update you on your pet's condition, clearly explain all treatment options, and help you make the best decisions for their care. Our primary focus is stabilizing your pet, easing their discomfort, and working towards the best possible outcome.
