Directions to Emergency Practice   

Health care of pets is a partnership between owner, veterinarian, and veterinary specialist.  When your pet is in need of after hours emergency or critical care, we will refer you to Wisconsin Veterinary Referral Center in Waukesha, Wi.  They specialize in emergency medical and surgical care of small animals, especially patients requiring more intensive and long-term critical care management.  Their hospital meets or exceeds all standards recommended by the Veterinary Emergency Critical Care Society.  Their emergency service is a fully staffed emergency, trauma and critical care facility that accepts both walk-in and referral emergencies.

The emergency clinic will fax a detailed report regarding your pet's condition to us immediately so we can make a medical progress phone call to you to be sure your pet is recovering appropriately.

Depending on the seriousness of the emergency, the owner may be asked to transfer the pet back to our facility for further treatment on the first working day after the emergency visit.
