🐾 Why ER Wait Times Can Vary 🐾
At Southwest Animal Emergency Clinic, pets are treated based on the severity of their condition through a process called triage. This means patients with life-threatening emergencies may be seen immediately, even if they arrived later.
Critical emergencies can include:
🚨 Difficulty breathing
🚨 Active seizures
🚨 Severe trauma or bleeding
🚨 Collapse or unresponsiveness
🚨 Suspected toxin ingestion
We understand waiting can be stressful, especially when your pet isn’t feeling well. Please know our team is working hard to care for every patient as quickly and safely as possible, while prioritizing those in critical condition. ❤️
Thank you for your patience, kindness, and understanding as we care for our community’s pets.
