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. Katelyn Hickman is part of our emergency medicine training program for clinicians. She is dedicated to providing excellent medical care for patients in an emergency setting. Her interests include stabilizing and managing trauma patients, as well as ophthalmology and neurology.
Dr. Hickman enjoys kayaking, pyrography and hiking with her dog, Miss Lemon Drop.
Dr. Amanda Marin enjoys all that emergency medicine has to offer with a special interest in wound management and client education.
Away from work, Dr. Marin enjoys weight lifting and outdoor activities such as kayaking and hiking. She has a cat named Norman.
Dr. Nicole Palermo is interested in all emergency conditions and procedures, including lacerations and minor wound care, blunt trauma stabilization, anaphylaxis, effusive conditions (pericardial, pleural, peritoneal), urethral obstructions, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Dr. Palermo is married and has two lovely daughters and two wonderful dogs. She enjoys outings with family, exploring the outdoors, beach vacations, music, movies, soccer, and other sporting events.
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.
