# Emergency and Critical Care

Emergencies come first during office hours, with IV fluid therapy, transfusions, oxygen and intensive monitoring in our hospitalization area.

Emergencies are given first priority at our office. If your pet is seriously ill or injured during normal business hours, please contact our office if at all possible as you bring your pet in. We may have special instructions for the safe transport of your pet.

Critical care services include IV fluid therapy support with automatic fluid pumps, blood transfusions, management of shock, oxygen therapy, incubation, and advanced monitoring in our intensive care hospitalization area.

We reserve several emergency appointments each day for pets in need of urgent care. These spots are limited and cannot be booked more than 12 hours ahead. If you suspect your pet needs emergency care, give us a call and our client services and nursing teams will help triage the situation.

## After hours

For after-hours emergencies, please refer to our [list of local emergency clinics](https://fallcreekvet.com/contact/#after-hours). None require appointments, but it helps them to know when you will be coming so they can prepare, so phone ahead if possible. If you have concerns about your pet going into an evening, weekend or holiday, please phone or email the office while we are still open. We can very often offer options to contact, or be contacted by, the doctor after hours.
