• Excessive vomiting or diarrhea

• Bleeding from the nose, mouth, rectum, coughing up blood, or blood in the urine
• Seizures
• Limping or lameness that has not resolved with rest
• Broken bones
• Allergic reactions to vaccines or insects
• Toxin exposure or poisoning
• Difficulty breathing
• Painful or inability to urinate or defecate
• Eye injuries
• Heatstroke
• Frostbite
• Refusal to drink for more than 24 hours
If you’re unsure your pet is experiencing an emergency that requires urgent care, please call us. We will triage your pet’s condition over the phone and offer advice as to whether your pet requires immediate care or if it can wait. These are our directions to our ER clinic for after-hour use: SAVES 770-460-8166, 1090 Highway 54 East, Fayetteville, GA 30214.
