Your 24 Hour Veterinary Team
When an emergency hits in the middle of the night or on a holiday, CVES provides the compassionate care your pet needs.  It is sometimes difficult to determine if your pet is in crisis and a phone call to our technicians may help ease your mind or provide information to help you make a decision. However, if you are concerned enough to call it is usually best to bring in your pet for a visit. Starting treatment right away  may decrease recovery time or even save a life.

Emergency Care:

Pets, like people, can get themselves into life threatening situations that result in needing immediate medical care. These events often occur at odd hours and the staff at Central Veterinary Emergency Services (CVES) are available to help. Our Doctors and Technicians provide compassionate, life saving care to your pet in an emergency situation. If your pet has suffered a serious injury or life-threatening event, stay calm, but try to get your pet to our hospital as soon as possible.

 
CVES practices alongside a variety of Specialists. If your pet needs immediate surgery or a consultation with one of the VRCC specialists, the CVES Doctors are able to make the recommendations, consult with a specialist over the phone or even transfer your pet to a Doctor specializing in the care your pet needs.

Examples of Emergencies: Difficulty breathing Ingestion of a foreign object or substance Bleeding Unsuccessful contractions lasting over an hour Serious cut or broken limb Any trauma to the eye Loss of consciousness Seizures Inability to move legs or weakness in limbs Unusual or erratic behavior

Critical Care:

Sometimes your cat or dog is so ill that response to treatment needs to be monitored hourly with frequent changes in therapy or treatment. Your cat or dog may need to stay in our hospital overnight for treatments, further diagnostics, and potentially even surgery.

 
Your family veterinarian knows this constant monitoring is available and may transfer your pet to our facility for diagnostics and treatment through the night. This relationship provides the compassionate care that your pet needs, no matter the time of night, to stay on the path to recovery.
