SVS BluePearl COVID-19 Response
To our valued patients and clients:
As our state’s understanding and response to COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) continues to develop, one thing remains the same: at SVS BluePearl, the health, safety, and well-being of our patients, clients, dedicated team, and community is our number one priority.
Our 24/7 Emergency Services are still available to all animals in need. With these emergency cases, we are asking that clients call ahead so that we can coordinate an alternative check-in plan for your pet.
Surgery Service:
In accordance with the Nevada veterinary board and guidelines from ACVS (American college of Veterinary Surgeons)
All non-essential surgery procedures are postponed for the next 2-4 weeks to conserve medical supplies for life-saving procedures. We are defining a “non-essential surgery or procedure” as one that can be delayed without undue risk to the current or future health of a patient. We are using the following criteria to determine the urgency and severity of prospective cases:
- Threat to the patient’s life if surgery or procedure is not performed.
- Threat of permanent dysfunction of an extremity or organ system, including teeth and jaws
- Risk of metastasis or progression of staging for known malignant cancer.
