FAQ’S

What is considered a veterinary emergency?

If you believe your pet is experiencing a veterinary emergency, it is important to seek professional help immediately. Emergency vets are specially trained to deal with life-threatening situations, and they have the equipment and staff necessary to provide the best possible care for your pet. Some common examples of emergency situations include shock, multiple seizures or other neurological crises, heat stroke, traumatic injuries, urinary or digestive blockages, poison ingestion, and ingestion of foreign objects. If you are ever in doubt about whether your pet is experiencing an emergency, it is always best to contact an emergency vet. With their help, you can ensure that your beloved pet gets the treatment they need to make a full recovery.

What emergency treatments can be done at an emergency clinic?

How can I tell if my pet is in pain?

It can be difficult to spot when our pets are in pain because they can't speak. However, there are several signs, some more obvious than others, which can indicate they are in pain. For example, an animal who is normally active may become lethargic and lie around more than usual. They may also stop eating or start losing weight. Animals in pain may also whine, whimper, or become more aggressive. If you suspect that your pet is in pain, it is important to seek professional help. WTEVC is ready to help your pet.

THANK YOU to the Emergency Vet Clinic for diagnosing our puppy and treating her for distemper. We came AFTER another vet said she had allergies. Despite an extremely long wait, the doctor took care of Lulu and even offered a follow up visit to check up on her. The front desk person (Kristin maybe? she is starting nights) is a true asset to the team. Thank you for being a resource in West Texas.
