If you have an emergency during business hours (Mon-Thur 9am-6pm, Fri 9am-5pm), please bring your pet in or contact us immediately at 843-216-8387 and we will discuss how to stablize your pet and either schedule an appointment or admit your pet on an emergency basis.

If you are unsure if your case is an emergency please refer to the "Recognizing an Emergency" page.  Many pets benefit from being placed into a hospital box until they are stable enough to transport.  The "Hospital Box" page details how to construct and utilize a hospital box.

Never give over-the-counter preparations (i.e. vitamins, supplements or antibiotics) orally or in the water since this may mask signs and can worsen the situation.

If you have an emergency after business hours requiring immediate attention, please contact one of the two Emergency Veterinary Clinics in the area.  The veterinarian on duty will notify us of your emergency and refer you to us for follow-up if needed.
