When Emergencies Happen

Please Stay Calm!

Once your pet is stabilized and a treatment plan has been discussed via ER doctors/staff it is strongly recommended to schedule post ER exams with Dr. Brown and/or your pets GP/BM at this time pending ER recommendations to avoid scheduling delays and breaks in treatment
Search the complimentary Pet Library for additional information regarding your pets' medical concern(s)
If your pet has had lab work completed with Dr. Brown you received a final report copy via email for your records. This information can be forwarded to ER so they can compare new/current ER lab results to baseline if needed. Medical records from Dr. Brown are not available on immediate demand or after hours which is why lab work results are sent to owners via email. If your pet has pending lab work Dr. Brown will forward partial results as available from lab during regular business hours
Please request TeLeVET Time for additional support from Dr. Brown. TeLeVET fees apply
