Emergency Animal Hospital of Ellicott City

We really do understand that dogs have a way of getting themselves in trouble;
This is W***y, and he belongs to our hospital manager. W***y was left alone in Matt's office and decided to entertain himself with ribbon and glue strips and gum and a few Dramamine. Luckily the gum did not contain Xylitol, but we still induced vomiting because we weren't completely sure what else he may have eaten.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from all of us at the Emergency Animal Hospital. We will be open for continuous, 24 hour emergency care starting this morning at 8 AM and extending through Tuesday morning at 1 AM. If you believe your pet needs emergency care, please call us at 410-750-1177. Holiday weekends tend to bring an increased caseload and extended wait times to emergency facilities nationwide - please treat our team with kindness as they are choosing to spend this holiday away from friends and family. Have an excellent holiday weekend! 🇺🇸

Happy 4/20 to all of our "herbal medicine" fans out there. Here's a few things you need to know if your dog finds your stash...

1) We are not judging you and it happens ALL THE TIME! We see a ma*****na ingestion at least weekly. Sometimes it's several in a day. Please don't be embarrassed to tell us what your dog ate. It saves us a lot of time and will save you a lot of money.
2) Please tell us what they ate, how much, and when. If it was an item from a dispensary, please bring any packaging, even if it's chewed into pieces. While THC usually isn't fatal on it's own, some of the additives in edibles can be. Xylitol, in particular, can be lethal. Also, some dispensary items can be concentrated at such high levels that the THC itself can be fatal. Having any associated packaging helps us determine the best course of treatment for your pet.
And last, but not least ...
3) We usually already know your dog is high. Ma*****na intoxication has some very specific signs and they're pretty easy to spot. Dogs are usually wobbly, sleepy, are very easily startled and (the "dead giveaway"), they dribble urine.

So please, just tell us your dog ate w**d. You don't have to be embarrassed or shy. You don't have to blame your neighbors or friends. We're not here to judge you or what you do in your free time. We just want to take care of your pet in the best way possible and get them back home to you.

~~~ New Hours ~~~

We are happy to say we will again be expanding our hours! Starting THIS THURSDAY, we will open at 6pm and stay open through 1am Tuesday. These will be our new regular hours, every weekend.
We are excited for the opportunity to serve even more pets and families and to offer improved continuity of care for pets who need to be admitted to the hospital.

Happy Easter from all of us at Emergency Animal Hospital!
We hope all of your furry, feathered and scaley family members are safe and healthy this weekend. However, if you need us to care for your pet, we are open through Tuesday morning at 1am.
While holidays are often a time for families to come together to celebrate, they are full of temptations for our pets. Like people, dogs also love chocolate but it can be toxic to pets. Easter Lilies, while beautiful, can be deadly to cats, even with very little exposure. Easter grass, used to fill those baskets, can cause severe issues if ingested. And, finally, all those delicious drippings and bones and leftovers can cause gastroenteritis for animals not use to all those yummy foods.

We had the pleasure of taking care of Ms. Cindy today and while we never want animals to get sick or injured, we're happy to be able to treat them when they do.
