There are times when you need a veterinarian in a hurry. A sudden accident or injury can turn deadly without prompt, efficient attention from trained professionals.
Many communities offer emergency services as a part of their animal clinic or hospital. They are equipped with 24/7 emergency, critical care and specialist services for treating your pet.
As a responsible pet owner, there are a few steps you can take to ensure you know the right place to take your animal if something should suddenly happen.
Referrals from friends and family are a great source of information. They will know the inside details such as cost, level of care from the staff and cleanliness of the facility.
Find an emergency animal hospital that is close to your home. Time can sometimes be a crucial factor in a satisfactory outcome. Urban areas have many animal emergency hospitals to choose from so finding one close to you should not be a problem. For rural dwellers, check with your veterinarian for recommendations.
When you do decide on an animal hospital, go and make a personal visit. The hospital should be very clean, with professional and compassionate personnel. Find out what types of diagnostic services and boarding facilities are available and whether long-term care is provided or if the facility is strictly for emergencies. Take a tour of the hospital and see for yourself the level of cleanliness and comfort provided. Find out who cares for the animals in a recovery or rehabilitation stage. Make sure you establish a rapport with people who will be coming in contact with your pet.
Talk to the office manager about costs. What is the fee schedule? What types of insurance are accepted? Is there a payment plan if the cost is higher than you might have expected? Be sure to discuss any financial arrangements before your pet is treated.
Any medical emergency is a stressful situation, both for the pet and the pet owner. If you are prepared beforehand, then the situation is more manageable in a critical situation. Armed with the right information, the animal emergency hospital you choose will help bring about a happy conclusion for you and your animal.
During an emergency, an unforseen situation happens, that need to be stoped or handled quickly, given the consequences it can lead to.

You will need to take in an old prescription bottle and/or the name and number of the pharmacy that has filled your prescription before. Med management at an emergency room will also depend on your past history with them and which meds you are trying to refill. If this is a first diagnosis, most emergency rooms have an on call psychiatrist who -may- want to check you in to a hospital for observation. That said, yes emergency rooms can prescribe psychiatric meds. Whether they will depends on the hospital and the patient.
An emergency room is a part of a hospital which receives patients who are suffering from a medical emergency and need immediate attention.
