Emergency Medicine

In today’s world, medical emergencies happen more frequently than we would like. When pets get hurt in an accident or they have a life-threatening medical condition, they need emergency care just as humans do. The DoveLewis team of board-certified veterinarians and skilled technicians are ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide proficient, compassionate care.

Emergency Care
Emergency care involves stabilizing the patient and may include placing intravenous catheters, administering IV fluids, pain medications, oxygen therapy and sometimes blood or plasma transfusions. Our in-house laboratory, radiology and ultrasound capabilities enable us to get crucial diagnostic information very quickly. Our Blood Bank program guarantees that our canine and feline patients have access to a safe and adequate blood supply. Additional surgeons and technical staff are on call should the need arise.
