Emergency

Appointments and Referrals

If possible, we encourage all pet owners to call ahead of their arrival at (334) 844-9966, but appointments are not required. Walk-ins are always welcome.

We do ask that referring veterinarians call ahead of sending patients to the emergency service to ensure the best facilitation of needed diagnostics, estimates, and client/patient information.

About the Service

The Emergency Service provides immediate evaluation, stabilization, and treatment of pets with emergency or serious conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a same-day referral center, we also work closely with veterinarians in the Southeast to ensure pets receive the most appropriate ongoing care available.

What We Do

In addition to the urgent care provided at arrival, a team approach is used to provide comprehensive expert care through collaboration with other specialty services within the hospital including dermatology, theriogenology, neurology, internal medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, oncology, and surgery.

We strive to provide the highest level of patient care. A state-of-the-art Intensive Care Unit operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for patients requiring careful monitoring and extensive care. Emergency and Critical Care faculty and residents are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to direct patient care and consult as required.
