What is an emergency veterinarian and what do they do?

An emergency veterinarian is a veterinarian who has specialized in treating medical emergencies, similar to an ER doctor for humans. These veterinarians can be on call for duty at any time of the day or night any day of the year. When a case is presented to the emergency clinic, the vet will assess the animal's medical state and take immediate action to stabilize the animal to prevent death. After this, the vet will work with the presenting owner to determine what medical care the owner can/will pay for and what can be done for the animal. The main difference between an emergency veterinarian and a general practitioner is emergency vets generally don't have appointments - they handle whatever walks in the door when it shows up.
