Dealing with emergency situations
If an emergency situation occurs call the Emergency Veterinary Clinic at 519-650-1617 immediately.
Protecting yourself is important to ensure you can help your pet. Be careful when handling your pet, as pain may cause them to bite.
- Assess the severity of any bleeding and apply direct pressure to areas as necessary to slow blood flow.
- If you suspect your pet has eaten a poisonous substance, have the product and package close by while calling the Emergency Clinic.
- Move pets very carefully if serious bone injury has occurred. Place your pet on a flat surface or blanket to minimize movement during transport.
- Proceed to the Emergency Clinic quickly and safely.
- Your pet will be assisted by our dedicated staff on a triage basis. We make every effort to attend to your pet as soon as possible after your arrival to our hospital.
- One of our experienced staff veterinarians will assist you in making appropriate medical plans for your pet.
