If you were one of the many clients that brought your pet to LGVS today, chances are you had a longer wait time than usual. This was the scene at 8 am, 30 minutes after a life threatening emergency came through our doors at opening. A beloved elderly pet, suffering from a terrible accident, brought in on a stretcher covered by her blood soaked cartoon blanket. We all immediately jumped in to provide life saving care. When these things happen, time is of essence and we will stop everything we are doing to provide immediate critical care measures. This dog needed hours of urgent attention, which our highly trained staff took turns providing today in the midst of our already scheduled surgeries and appointments. If you had to wait today: be THANKFUL. We had several other emergencies after this one, and many owners had to leave without their pets today. When this happens, we have no choice but to triage the most critical. If you had to wait, chances are that you got to take your furbabies home with you. On that note, we have a hospital full of pets fighting for their lives tonight; please send them all the good vibes… And please know that if it is ever your pet that needs urgent, life saving care, we will stop everything we are doing to make sure they get immediate, “all hands on deck” attention. As always, we value our wonderful clients and appreciate you all more than you know for being patient with us and trusting us with your valued furry family members 🩷 ~signed, some very exhausted veterinary staff members who will be there tomorrow, ready to do it all again~
