Quick triage
Is it an emergency?
If you see any of these signs, head to a centre without waiting.
Is it an emergency?
- Major trauma (hit by a car, fall from height), even if your pet seems fine
- Trouble breathing; pale, blue or grey gums
- Seizures, loss of consciousness or inability to stand
- Possible poisoning: medication, chocolate, grapes, xylitol, antifreeze, rat poison, lily (cats)
- Swollen, hard belly with unproductive retching, especially in large dogs: minutes matter
- Male cat straining to urinate without producing urine
- Bleeding that does not stop after 5 minutes of pressure
On the way
- Poisoning: bring the packaging or a photo of the product. Never induce vomiting without veterinary advice.
- Bleeding: steady pressure with a clean cloth, without letting go to "check".
- Heatstroke: wet the body with cool or lukewarm water. Never ice.
- Seizures: never put your hands near the mouth; clear the area, protect your pet from falls and note the start time.
Poisoning and costs
Possible poisoning?
ASPCA Poison Control: (888) 426-4435 · US service · $95 US fee · English only
Keep the product packaging within reach.
Costs, no surprises
An emergency exam costs more than a regular visit, and a fee may be required on admission. You are entitled to a written estimate before approving care: teams are used to it.
No 24/7 centre in your area?
Call your regular clinic first: its voicemail almost always names the emergency service to contact. Otherwise, head to the nearest centre above and call it on the way.
As of our last check, no 24/7 centre existed in the Eastern Townships, Mauricie, Saguenay, Gaspésie, Abitibi or Côte-Nord.
What to do in the meantime?
Our emergency guide explains what to do in each situation: three-level triage, the most common poisons, first steps. During the day, our clinic triages, stabilizes and organizes the transfer.
