Emergency Care:
The idea of something that constitutes an emergency is different for each
pet owner. This could be range from a broken toe nail for one person to
another family whose companion is frantically seizuring. What is NOT okay
is thinking you have a possible emergency crisis and NOT contacting a skill
emergency veterinarian to either confirm or alleviate your concerns.
Example of situations that are frequently experienced by pet owners that
constitute veterinary medical emergencies include but are not limited to
this list:
  • Poisonings
  • "Hit-by-Car" Traumas
  • Seizures
  • Porcupine Quill Patients
  • Eye Traumas
  • Heat Stroke
  • Uncontrollable Hemorrhaging
  • Repetitive Vomiting
  • Respiratory Distress
  • Collapse
  • Paralysis
  • Uncontrollable Pain
  • Self-mutilation Skin Problems
  • Urinary Blockage or Discomfort
  • Stomach Bloating/Torsions
  • Fractured Bones
  • Protracted Birthing of Fetuses
What Should You Do?
If you need a Truckee Vet or Lake Tahoe Vet for an emergency during
normal business hours contact
CritterCare Mobile Veterinary
Clinic
at our business number (530) 550-8660.

If you are unable to reach us due to your having an after-hours emergency
or we are currently providing service to another pet owner, you can still
contact us in case of an emergency by calling our 24 hour toll-free
emergency paging service at
(866) 584-4742.

Following the retrieval of your page someone from Critter
Care will contact
you as soon as possible. It is important that you do not occupy the
telephone number you left on Critter
Care's Emergency Pager voice mail.
This will impede our ability to contact you following your request for
emergency assistance.
