Pet emergencies can be scary – we’re here to help you handle them.
We understand that seeing your pet sick, hurt or in distress can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our experienced ER clinicians are prepared to take action and help.
Acting quickly in an emergency may save your pet’s life.
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, you’ll have an entire veterinary team helping them so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Experience makes all the difference.
Our emergency team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Meghan Henkel finds emergency and critical care medicine, including emergency surgery, especially gratifying. Her professional interests include nutrition, anatomy and research. She is skilled in thoracic and abdominal triage ultrasound as well as Fear Free pet handling techniques.
Dr. Laura Loftin’s particular interests include canine gastric dilatation volvulus, relieving urinary obstructions, foreign body ingestions, and toxicities.
Dr. Loftin enjoys traveling, bootcamp style workouts, watching Mississippi State sports, and spending time with her husband, son and the family’s two dogs, German shepherd Diesel and golden retriever Deacon.
We know an unexpected trip to the emergency pet hospital can be stressful, and we want you to be prepared so you have one less thing to worry about. Our entire BluePearl team will be with you every step of the way.
During an emergency, every second counts. If your pet is experiencing an emergency, call us so we can talk you through their situation and be with you.
Our goal is always for your pet to have the best chance at a complete recovery so they can return home with you, happy and healthy.
