What to do in case of a veterinary emergency

What to do in case of a veterinary emergency ? We help you from the identification of the emergency to its management. Every minute counts when it comes to the health of your companion.

Identifier une urgence

Identifying the emergency

Not always so simple.

Recognizing a veterinary emergency can be difficult. Signs such as difficulty breathing, significant bleeding, severe pain or seizures indicate an emergency. Sudden changes in your pet’s usual behavior can also signal a serious problem. If you have any doubts about your pet’s condition, consult a veterinarian immediately. Acting quickly can make all the difference.

Call us

Even if in doubt.

Our veterinarians are there for you and your pet in case of emergency, even when it is a question of doubt. When you call, we will ask you what the nature of your pet’s veterinary emergency is. Remember to give clear and precise information on the state of health of your pet (breathing, mobility, behavior).

Indeed, your explanations will help us to ensure rapid care.
