What must I do if I have an emergency?
Your pet should be transported to us as quickly as possible. A true emergency cannot adequately be treated at home. Pets may behave unpredictably when in pain, so be cautious when handling. Wrap up in a blanket for transport if necessary. Do not feed If you suspect poisoning. If you are able to, try to bring the offending package with. If the patient is bleeding, apply pressure to the area with a clean towel or bandage. A surcharge is levied after 19h00 weekdays, after 17h00 on Saturdays, and on Sundays and Public holidays. |
