A Better Life
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Appointments are not necessary, but please call ahead if possible.
Our state-of-the-art Emergency & Critical Care Service (ECC) provides ongoing care for critically ill or injured pets. Our primary goal is to provide immediate initial evaluation, stabilization, and treatment for ill or injured pets.
As part of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), our service is a conduit to the entire team of specialties to ensure the best possible care for your animals.
When you arrive at the VMTH, you will be received by a fourth-year veterinary student who will immediately transport your animal to our ECC unit to be initially evaluated and stabilized by the emergency veterinarian on duty.
Our team will create a treatment plan, which may require your animal to stay in the hospital, or can be done on an outpatient basis, depending on the condition. Our team may also recommend transferring your pet to your primary veterinarian for follow-up care.
Our team consists of experienced emergency & critical care veterinarians who manage the service with support from interns, residents, fourth-year veterinary students, and our experienced technical staff.
