Description: Pet illness and injuries can be stressful events. Please join us as we discuss what to do when you pet is experiencing acute illness, injury, or trauma. We will also discuss what to expect at veterinary emergency hospitals: the triage system, wait times, and the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary care.
