Emergency Services
For Pets in Distress or Injured
CCVS Meadowbrook is a veterinary hospital that provides emergency care to animals in need. We have a team of highly skilled and compassionate emergency veterinarians and vet technicians available every single day. If you are looking for emergency services for your pet, CCVS can help.
How do you know if your pet needs emergency care?
We are open 365 days a year, and these are just some of the reasons that pets are brought to us for emergency care:
-
Your pet is unconscious or having seizures or paralysis
-
Your pet is having difficulty breathing, or is choking/gagging
-
Your pet is in pain, or is experiencing extreme anxiety
-
Your pet may have eaten something like poison, chocolate, anti-freeze, etc
-
Your pet may have heatstroke, or won't accept water for more than 24 hrs
-
Your pet is behaving unusually, and you know something is wrong
-
Your pet is unable to urinate or pass a stool
-
Your pet is urinating or drinking water excessively
-
Your pet has wounds, fractures or lacerations
-
Your pet has extreme diarrhea, vomiting, or heatstroke
-
Your pet is injured, bleeding severely, had trauma, or has been hit by a car
Our primary goal is to make what normally can be a very stressful event feel less so, by providing living-room style consult rooms so that owners can stay with their pets as much as possible throughout their visit. After our emergency veterinarians assess any life-threatening issues, we try to work with pet owners to find the best possible outcome, given there specific lifestyle or budget. We accept urgent walk-ins, referrals from other veterinarians, scheduled appointments–whatever makes sense for your pet’s needs. If you or your veterinarian would benefit from speaking directly with one of the doctors on staff, please let staff know immediately so that we can do our best to accommodate this request. We encourage you to call (352) 225-3501 before bringing your pet to us so that we can best prepare for this visit, or to direct you elsewhere, if we happen to be 'at capacity'.
