Emergency Care

The Westside Animal Clinic accepts after hours calls for EMERGENCY care. After hour fees apply for any services rendered outside of regular hospital operating hours.

After hour treatment will be directed by the veterinarian on duty. Emergencies, especially trauma, cause immediate concern and may actually threaten your pet's life. Examples include but are not limited to altercations with other animals (fights), struck by a vehicle, gunshot, poisoning, heatstroke, and others.

For emergency care please call the clinic at (580) 477-1623 or call direct to the pager at (580) 477-5274.
