Our colleagues in veterinary medicine are vastly important in keeping your pets as healthy as possible.

There are many situations that require care from a traditional brick and mortar veterinary hospital. The health of your pets is always my top priority, and acutely sick, surgical cases, and severely injured pets are better served in a veterinary hospital with adequate staffing and monitoring capabilities.

Please contact your preferred veterinary clinic or hospital in emergency situations. Remember the ABC's of emergency medicine - airway, breathing, and circulation. If your pet has difficulty breathing, is actively bleeding or convulsing (seizures), or has collapsed, please seek veterinary care IMMEDIATELY. Pets that may need x-rays and/or surgery (progressive vomiting/GI obstruction, acute injury/broken bones, severe eye injuries, etc...) should also be evaluated in a fully staffed veterinary hospital.

For emergencies that occur after regular business hours, please contact Affiliated Emergency Veterinary Services (AEVS) of Rochester, MN at (507) 424-3976. They are located at 121 23rd Ave SW Rochester, MN 55902.
