EMERGENCIES

If you have a large animal emergency, there are 3 options:

1) Text Us

Text 831-440-1418. If we are available, we will respond. Wait no longer than 20 minutes for a response. If no response, try one of the following two options.

2) Use Vet Triage Telemedicine Services

Live consultation with a veterinarian who has expertise in your species. Note that there is a fee for this service that requires a credit card when you register. There are two ways to contact them: use the weblink: www.vettriage.com/lavssc, or call 1-800-940-1921.

3) Call Our Emergency Line Answering Service

Please call 831-440-6912 to reach the answering service and contact the veterinarian on call for our area.

If you call the emergency line (831-440-6912) and have not received a call back within 30 minutes of the original call, call the emergency number again, and have the answering service contact a list of alternative vets who may be available, a referral hospital option, or Vet Triage.
