Thanksgiving prep is underway! We will be open should you need our services. Unfortunately Thanksgiving brings with it Emergencies such as Pancreatitis and HGE - the top 2 conditions we see on the holiday. Avoid table scraps / foods your pet doesn’t normally eat as well as the items in the attached list. Providing a comfortable space (such as a kennel) for anxious pets is also helpful.

With the holidays on the way, many people will adopt a new kitten. Two of our common “holiday time” emergencies are Linear Foreign Bodies and Toxin ingestions. Kitties love to steal ornaments, hair ties, and yarn - sometimes swallowing them. The string can then become entrapped and cause serious issues. There are also a bit of holiday foods and plants that are quite toxic.

Did you know that cats can become unable to urinate? This is one of the most common emergencies at our ER.
Some of the first signs: straining to urinate (often mistaken for constipation), crying/howling, vomiting, licking at the genitals/below the tail, hiding, and lethargy.

Blocked Cats are an Emergency - Veterinary Partner - VIN

In advanced cases, where the urine flow has been stopped for more than 24 hours, cats can become systemically ill from retained toxins and start vomiting, or become very weak and lethargic. Death usually happens within 48 hours, and it's not a pleasant way to go.
