Emergency Pet Care

An emergency can strike at any time. We are here to help

Regardless of how great of a pet parent you are, an emergency can strike at any time. Your dog can devour a box of chocolates or slip their collar and get hit by a car. Your cat could ingest lilies (or any other toxin) or get hurt jumping from a perch that was just a bit too high. Your pet could also start exhibiting concerning symptoms with no known cause. No matter how responsible you are and how hard you work to keep your canine or feline companion safe, no family is immune to emergencies.

At Madera Veterinary Hospital, we are here to help. We provide emergency services during normal business hours and will always make time to provide care to your beloved companion when they need it most. For emergency pet care in Tucson and the surrounding areas, we have you covered.

Signs Your Pet Needs Emergency Vet Care

As a pet parent, it isn’t always easy to determine when your pet needs to be seen immediately and when it’s safe to wait and schedule a later appointment. While each case is different, there are symptoms that always warrant emergency treatment:
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Difficulty passing urine or stool
  • Physical trauma
  • Extreme lethargy
  • Snakebites
  • A bloated abdomen
  • Elevated heart or respiratory rate
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Crying out in pain
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Difficult labor or birthing
  • Repeated non-productive retching
  • Poison or toxin ingestion
  • Sudden behavior changes
  • Excessive vomiting
  • Inability to walk or dragging hindquarters
  • Seizures
  • Eye problems
You should listen to your instincts and seek emergency treatment anytime something seems especially “off” and is causing concern. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
