Pets can face life-threatening emergencies in a variety of situations, including:

Many common household items are severely toxic to pets, including garlic, onions, chocolate, cleaning products, and pest control chemicals. When ingested, these substances can trigger 4 critical conditions:

Kidney Failure: Excessive urination and sudden loss of appetite

Internal Bleeding: Weakness, collapsing, vomiting blood, or rapid heart rate

Liver Failure: Tarry stools, collapsing, and persistent vomiting

Gastrointestinal Complications: Frequent vomiting or diarrhea following ingestion

If you observe any of these signs, contact our emergency team immediately. Early intervention significantly improves your pet’s outcome.

Pets’ natural curiosity puts them at risk of open wounds from animal bites, broken glass, or sharp metal edges around the home and outdoors.

These injuries range from minor scrapes to deep puncture wounds that can quickly lead to infection or blood loss without immediate care.

What to do if your pet has an open wound:

Hold your pet calmly and securely to prevent further injury to both your pet and yourself.

Gently examine the affected area to assess the depth and severity of the wound.

Contact our emergency team immediately for guidance on cleaning the wound safely before transport.

Do not attempt to fully treat the wound at home. Prompt professional evaluation is essential to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.

Seizures rank among the most serious neurological emergencies in pets. Our team includes a veterinary neurology specialist available to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment.

There are 2 primary seizure types to recognize:

Focal Seizures: Affect one brain area; your pet remains conscious but behaves unusually.

Generalized Seizures: Affect the entire brain; often begin as focal seizures and progressively worsen.

These situations require immediate professional intervention to prevent rapid deterioration or death.

CASE Animal Hospital provides 24/7 emergency veterinary care for pets across Riverside County, with a dedicated team of emergency veterinarians available at all hours to respond to critical cases without delay.
