The Large Animal Teaching Hospital provides full-time emergency service to area livestock owners and for referral services. The clinician on duty determines the urgency of the emergency case and must approve transport of the animal to the teaching hospital. For local clients seeking on-farm emergency service, the clinician on duty determines the urgency of the case and notifies the client of the plan to resolve the animal health concern.
Although the criteria for determining that a case is an emergency varies, unchecked hemorrhage, unstable fractures, severe colic, dystocias, uterine prolapse, etc. demand immediate attention and take precedence over normal office procedures. |
