If you feel your pet has a medical emergency, we encourage you to call the number above or to come directly to the CARE Center (if your family veterinarian is not open). While we’re proud of this website, perusing this site or searching the web is generally not best done when your pet is having a crisis.
My pet ate something she shouldn’t have,
what should I do?
Please call us at the above number so that we can
discuss this situation with you. Obviously every case
is different with ingestions, so we cannot give some blanket guidelines here.
You can also contact the ASPCA’s National Pet Poison Hotline (www.aspca.org) at 1-888-426-4435. This number is staffed 24/7 by veterinarian-toxicologists.
There may be a charge for this service.
As general guidelines,
the following conditions require immediate medical attention:
Difficulty breathing
Pale or blue gums
Altered state or level of consciousness
Body temperature over 104 degrees or less than 98 degrees (in dogs and cats)
