An emergency is an accident or sudden illness. Your regular veterinarian should treat an illness that does not have a sudden onset. Routine vaccinations, worming, neutering, etc. will not be performed at the Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Central Iowa. In the event of a fracture (broken bone), your pet will be treated for pain and shock, if any. The fracture will be immobilized in a splint or bandage to prevent further injury until your regular veterinarian performs the repair. The The Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Central Iowa Staff will provide intensive care to animals that are critically ill or injured. Your pet will be treated as soon as possible, on a triage basis, which means cases will be prioritized according to severity of illness. Every effort will be made to assure your pets comfort and safety while awaiting treatment. Please call the Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Central Iowa (515) 280-3051 prior to arrival to enable the staff to be ready for your pet. |
