In case of a pet emergency:
Our animal emergency team sees a wide variety of medical problems ranging from minor infections to life-threatening trauma for the greater Northfield, IL community.
As with human emergency rooms, the most life-threatening cases are triaged first. Our veterinary emergency team will evaluate patients when they arrive to collect vital signs prior to an examination by one of our emergency doctors.
There may be times when more stable patients may need to wait so that critical patients can be stabilized. Please know that every patient is important to us. We will take all the necessary steps to ensure all patients receive the care they need.
Our ER team commonly sees and treats:
- Urethral obstruction
- Collapse
- Bite wounds
- Vomiting/diarrhea
- Trauma
- Toxin ingestion or exposure
- Seizures
- Snakebites
- Emergency surgery
- Heatstroke
