Conclusion
Many other types of emergencies can, and do, occur. If you have questions concerning symptoms your pet is exhibiting, seek advice from a veterinarian.
Emergency centers (where after-hours care is provided), and critical care centers (where 24- hour care is provided) are becoming more prevalent. It is recommended that you know the location and hours of operation of the closest facility.
There may not be time for you to call first in some very critical emergencies, but in most cases a phone call to the emergency facility is a good idea.
If there are any questions concerning your pet's health, call your veterinarian or the emergency facility. They can make you aware of some of the possibilities.
