What is Considered a Veterinary Emergency?


Veterinary Emergencies Explained

Pets can experience medical emergencies just like humans. That is why our pet hospital offers emergency veterinary services to the Buffalo, NY community. We care for and love our furry friends and can quickly get scared by any medical concern. However, not everything is an emergency. For example, minor scratches on their legs, fleas, and some rashes are not considered to be emergencies. These things do need to be treated though. So, how do you know what qualifies for a medical emergency for your pet? Here is a short list of some common pet emergencies that we treat:


  • Seizures & Staggering
  • Heatstroke
  • Not Drinking for over 24 hours
  • Not Walking
  • Severe Vomiting/Diarrhea
  • Suspected Poisoning
  • Eye Injuries


This is not a comprehensive list, but it covers most pet emergencies. All medical concerns, at minimum, warrant a call to your local veterinary office. We know your furry friend is like another family member. Just like you, we take their health very seriously and want to help your pet feel better. So, feel free to call us with any concerns that you may have.
