Pets are important members of the family and when your pet is injured you want the best care possible. At Animal Emergency Centre we specialize in emergency and urgent care for pets. Our animal emergency hospital located in Studio City deals with pet emergency and walk-in clients. Our state-of-the-art pet emergency room is equipped to save pet lives. There are many pet injuries that require emergency care including some insect and animal bites, eye trauma, and puncture wounds .

Animal Emergency Injuries Common in Pets

• Eye trauma is a common emergency for many pets. Your pet’s eyes can get poked or scratched, which requires immediate attention in order to prevent further damage to this fragile area. When left untreated eye injuries cause other complications corneal ulcers or loss of sight.

• Puncture wounds become serious if there is excessive bleeding or loss of blood. By bring your pet to our vet clinic and having them examined by our Studio City veterinarian we can determine the severity of the puncture and treat it against infection.

Emergency veterinary care is just a short drive away for Los Angeles residents. Our vet clinic has an in-house blood bank, an ICU department, ultrasonography, digital radiography and echocardiology services. We have everything needed to provide excellent emergency care for your pets. 

Have you had to make a trip to the pet emergency room?

One of the best ways to avoid needing emergency veterinary care is to prevent accidents in the first place; review this list and familiarize yourself with some common foods problematic for pets:

5 Foods That Can Trigger a Visit to the Emergency Vet

Beverages: Not all toxic items are solid foods. Leave out that cup of coffee or tea and you may tempt your pet to sample it; the caffeine in these beverages is dangerous. Avoid a trip to the emergency vet by disposing of liquids like tea, coffee, alcohol and soda promptly.

Onions: Onions and foods that have been cooked with onions are toxic for your pet. Be particularly wary of meats that may contain onions or garlic; these may be very tempting for your pet.

Prevention is best, but if your pet has encountered any of the above listed items or consumed something you are not sure about, visit our pet emergency room in Los Angeles to have your pet seen. With an onsite emergency vet, blood bank and animal hospital laboratory, we are prepared to help.

We feel that it is our duty as an emergency vet to be as fully prepared for all different types of emergencies as we possibly can. That is why the staff in our pet emergency room in Los Angeles is fully trained in handling snake bites in pets and in administering anti-venom when needed. If your pet needs antivenin to treat the snake bite, we will administer the serum via intravenous drip. Your pet will receive the antivenin serum for about half an hour (longer in some cases) during which the venom is counteracted by the antivenin, which is purely biological and is actually derived from horses. It is effective at treating four unique venoms. Your pet may not need anti-venom, however we feel that it is always important to be prepared.

If your pet has been bitten, there are a few things that you can do to help us determine the extent of the problem. First, do not try to alter the snake bite in any way, but bring your pet in for treatment as quickly as possible. Next, try to remember as much information about the type and appearance of the snake that bit your pet. This can be enormously helpful in determining the course of veterinary treatment.
