When a beloved pet faces a medical emergency, every second counts. Paws And Feathers Emergency Hospital understands the deep bond you share with your furry, feathered, or scaled companions, and we’re here to provide compassionate, expert care when they need it most.
What is a Paws and Feathers Emergency Hospital?
Unlike traditional veterinary clinics that operate on scheduled appointments, a paws and feathers emergency hospital specializes in providing immediate medical attention to pets experiencing urgent and often life-threatening conditions. Our doors are open 24/7, 365 days a year, ensuring your pet always has access to critical care, regardless of the day or time.
When Should I Bring My Pet to a Paws and Feathers Emergency Hospital?
Recognizing the signs of a pet emergency can be the difference between life and death. It’s crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention if your pet exhibits any of the following:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Continuous vomiting or diarrhea
- Sudden collapse or inability to stand
- Seizures or convulsions
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Loss of consciousness
- Exposure to toxins or poisons
- Severe pain or distress
- Eye injuries
- Bloat (especially in large breed dogs)
This list is not exhaustive, and if you’re ever unsure, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and bring your pet in for an evaluation.
