We See Emergencies
A medical emergency is a frightening experience. We
handle most of our patient's emergencies because we know that it
is comforting to see a familiar face that knows you and your
pet.
In the event of an emergency during our normal
office hours please call ahead if possible and proceed directly to
our practice.
Please note that we only see after hour emergencies for our
established clients. If you have an after hours emergency, please
call our office at (302) 239-5415 and follow the prompts for the
emergency service. For after hour emergencies, we
usually take calls up until approximately 10 p.m. We have found our
late night emergency cases are generally very ill with many
requiring hospitalization. In order to provide continuous
care, after 10 p.m. we usually refer to our local veterinary
24 hour critical care facilities. These outstanding emergency
centers will assist you with your pet's medical or surgical
emergency and contact us, your family veterinarian, for
continued follow-up care.
