We offer Equine Emergency care when Dr. Fowler is available. For Small Animal Emergencies, please call Blue Pearl Pet Hospital East Dallas.
When to call the vet… I consider these emergencies:
- Deep wounds of the body or neck
- Small or large wounds of the legs
- Change in gait (even slight); refusing to walk, walking “drunk”
- Laying down more than normal
- Not wanting to eat or slow to eat
- Discharge coming from the nose (mucous, feed, grass, snot, foam, blood, etc)
- Non-weight bearing lameness
- Squinting and tearing of one or both eyes
- Change in mentation (dull, sleepy, hyper-excitable)
- Diarrhea
- Vaginal discharge in a mare
- Difficulty breathing
