Pet Emergencies, What can I do?

Urgent Mobile Veterinary Care & 24-Hour Clinics

 
 

Time sensitive but not life threatening

These are the types of calls that can be easily seen by a Vet on a home visit, which will be much easier for you, and less stress for your pet. Examples of some of these conditions are:

  • Mild Vomiting

  • Diarrhoea

  • Intensely Itchy skin or ears

  • Superficial Skin wounds

  • Medications refills

  • Limps, Strains and Sprains

Ingestion of Poison or Non-Food Items in Dogs: For certain patients, we are able make an Urgent Home Visit to induce vomiting. If there is more than a minute or so delay getting hold of us to confirm our availability then please go straight to your nearest Vet Hospital. This is because Overdoses and Poisons are absorbed more every minute that passes, so it is best if there is no delay in making the dog vomit.

We cannot safely induce vomiting in cats on a home visit.

Urgent calls start from $179- $249 depending on location.
