Recognizing Pet Emergencies
Signs of a Pet Emergency

- Difficulty breathing
- Unusual lethargy

- Visible injuries, like wounds or fractures
- Signs of poisoning from consuming toxic substances
Handling a Pet Emergency
In handling a pet emergency, we know how crucial it is to act quickly and efficiently. We first ensure safety for both pet parents and the animal by calmly securing them, then assessing their condition to understand the urgency of the care needed.
Our team at Mercy Pet Hospital Fair Oaks is trained to provide immediate assistance over the phone, guiding you on what actions to take next. If your pet requires urgent care, bringing them promptly to our hospital can make all the difference in their health outcome.
Transporting a Pet to the Hospital
Always ensure your dog or cat is safely contained in a carrier or securely fastened with a leash and harness if they are too large for a carrier.
This prevents them from moving freely in the car, which could potentially worsen their condition or cause distraction to the driver. Keep calm and drive carefully; your composed demeanor can have a soothing effect on your pet, making the trip less stressful for both of you.

During office hours, we are capable of assisting with your urgent care needs. That being said, we are not an emergency hospital and are not equipped with everything an emergency hospital would have. We do see urgent care cases.
If you find that you need emergency assistance, we recommend several local emergency clinics. They are available when we are closed and we trust them for quality care! In the event you have to visit the emergency clinic we can get the records so we can follow up if your pet needs further care.
For your convenience, we have provided the contact and website information for the after-hours locations here.
