The answer depends entirely on you and your pet’s symptoms
Perhaps your dog has a cut on the leg after running through the woods, or your cat isn’t able to urinate, or your dog decided that bowl of sloppy joes was just too good — he had to eat the bowl as well. What do you do when your pet has an emergency? Do you wait for your regular veterinarian to open or call the after hours service?
Porcupine quills are another emergency that is better to be seen quickly, quills will migrate and get deeper and may be more difficult to remove the longer they are in. So who you gonna call? During regular business hours of your veterinarian, call them first. They may be able to fit you in or can triage your emergency to give you peace of mind. In Toronto, and many other major cities, there are 24-hour emergency and referral veterinary hospitals. They operate very similarly to human hospitals and emergency rooms.For areas without emergency hospitals, like Sudbury, each clinic offers after hours call to their registered patients. Smart.
