How to determine if your pet needs urgent care or if it is safe to wait:
In times like these, it’s important to know what constitutes as an “emergency.” What can wait until tomorrow and what needs to be seen right away? Being educated around veterinary emergencies and what constitutes as such is a priority. At Westbrook Veterinary Hospital, we want to make sure your pet is living its best and healthiest life, so we have provided this page to help you decide when it’s time to take your pet to the vet.
Click the link below to check out a great post from our friends at Ethos Veterinary Care to help you make the best determination of what is emergency and what can potentially wait.
You know your pet better than anyone and if you see anything out of the ordinary, please don’t hesitate to call or go to the nearest ER.
