Dear Veterinary Community,
Please call ahead of your visit as we are currently experiencing an increased caseload as well as intermittent staffing shortages. This can lead to increased wait times and periods of time when we must pause service in order to care for those already being treated or we may be unable to receive additional patients. If this is the case we will redirect you to alternate facilities that may be offering emergency care.
We understand this presents additional challenges to you and the community and apologize for the inconvenience.
