Small Animal Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (SAVES)
Emergency
The team in our emergency department works with you and your regular veterinarian to provide the comprehensive care your pet needs. Our medical team of experienced emergency veterinarians and technicians have extensive training in a complete range of emergency and critical care services.
Your family veterinarian may refer you to an emergency or critical care doctor for diagnosis and ongoing support of many conditions, including, but not limited to:
Diagnostics
Radiography (X-Rays)
Ultrasound
Inpatient Abdominal Ultrasounds: Inpatient abdominal ultrasound services are available at SAVES. Ultrasounds are available to patients on Mondays and Saturdays. Patients must be under our care as inpatients to receive this service.
If you are a veterinarian and you would like to transfer a patient or if you have any questions, please give us a call at (603) 306-0007 to discuss before transferring.
What to Do if You Suspect Your Pet Has Eaten Something Toxic:
POISON CONTROL CENTERS:
Gather any packaging or remains of anything that was eaten or suspected of being eaten! This step will help speed up the diagnosis. Please don’t be shy; if it was marijuana or any other embarrassing (or illicit) product, please be honest with our team; it will speed up diagnosis and treatment.
