Skilled veterinary staff trained to assess and treat non-life-threatening emergencies accurately and efficiently

Coughing, sneezing, and upper respiratory issues

Diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration

Fever, not eating or drinking

Eye or ear irritation, discharge, or infections

Itching, rashes, skin allergies, or hot spots

Rope off stairs or slippery floors if mobility is limited

Collect a brief symptom history—when it started and what changed

Please don’t give human medication, many common medications are dangerous for pets.
