EMERGENCY SERVICES
We provide 24-hour, 7-day a week emergency care for food animal equine patients. By calling and leaving a message with the answering service, our veterinarian on-call will be contacted immediately and will return your call promptly.
Because of the complex and serious nature of emergency and critical care veterinary medicine, our after-hours companion animal calls are sent to one of the two emergency clinics in Ottawa. Should you have an emergency, please call either Alta Vista Animal Hospital or The Ottawa Veterinary Hospital. We cannot give medical advice or diagnoses over the phone or through e-mail. In order to give you and your pet the appropriate care, we must examine your animal before we can accurately give a diagnosis or advice.
