What should you do if your pet is having an urgent medical problem?
If you suspect your cat, dog, or other pet is having an urgent health issue, try to stay calm so that you can get them to safety and get them the urgent services they need. Here are some steps to follow in case of a pet emergency.
- Get your pet to a safe place. If your pet has been injured or is found in a dangerous situation, this is your first step.
- Give us a call at 785-335-9155. Our staff can help you determine if you should come in, what you should do for your pet’s immediate needs (such as bleeding, seizures, snake bite, etc.), and what you can do to prepare your pet for the ride to our facility.
- Prepare your vehicle and your pet for the ride. Your animal may be in pain or in stress, so staying calm and making the transfer to the car comfortable and safe is top priority. Lay down towels if needed, cover your pet’s eyes if you feel they may be panicking, and use a blanket or towel as a makeshift stretcher that doesn’t put as much pressure on any injured areas.
- Drive carefully to our urgent care animal hospital. Watch the road and drive carefully to our location at 1010 SW Fairlawn Road in Topeka. We will assist you upon arrival.
