We are touched by this kind review and thankful to hear Georgie is feeling better!

When we went back for a follow up, my girl was wagging her tail and excited to see the vet tech that supported her during her 36 hour stay at the hospital. We had two follow ups, one mostly because I was an anxious mess right after surgery and one for suture removal and every interaction was 10/10.

While I hope we don’t require their emergency services anytime soon, I appreciate knowing that reliable and compassionate care is available at Roadrunner."

Acute Hemorrhagic Diarrhea Syndrome (AHDS) can strike dogs suddenly, causing severe bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and rapid dehydration. It can be a life-threatening emergency and immediate vet care is essential.

We are happy to share that Whiskey is recovering well after battling AHDS, thanks to quick action from his family and supportive care from his doctors and nursing staff here at Roadrunner Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital.

Rattlesnakes are native to New Mexico and are especially active in the mornings, evenings, and at night. Keep a close eye out when hiking and always leash your pets. If your pet is bitten, please seek veterinary care immediately as symptoms can worsen quickly. Early treatment gives the best chance for recovery.

Zeus was bitten during a walk with his family, but their quick response ensured he got the care he needed and made it back home the very next day.
