During animal emergencies it is essential you:
- Remain Calm
- Protect Yourself
- Treat for Shock
- Do Not Approach Wild or Unfamiliar Animals
At
River Road Animal Hospital we strive to provide our clients and the
local community the best medical care we can. We understand that
animal emergencies can and do occur outside of normal business
hours. To that end, we have a relationship with the Animal Emergency and Trauma Hospital of Wilmington (910-791-7387) to provide emergency care for our patients when we are not available. Please see our Calendar for Saturdays we are open and holidays we are closed.
We also offer extremely limited after
hours and emergency care for our existing clients based on availability
of the doctor and staff. To access the after hours message
center, simply call the main clinic number 910-454-8910 and follow the voice prompts to leave a message. It is very important that you clearly state your name, the pet’s name, the nature of the emergency and a number where you can be reached. If it is an emergency, Dr. Travis will be paged and return your call as soon as possible if she is available.
When Dr. Travis is unavailable or if she cannot be reached, please contact Animal Emergency and Trauma Hospital of Wilmington at 910-791-7387. If you think that your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435 for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Resource, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
For cases requiring the resources only a large specialy hospital can provide, we often refer to the NC State University College Of Veterinary Medicine - Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
The NCSU-CVM-VTH is one of the highest rated regional academic medical
centers in the country, serving communities throughout North Carolina
as well as many other states. Appointnents are made
only via a referal from Dr. Travis. If you have an animal
hospitalized at NCSUCVM-VTH you can reach them at (919) 513-6500.
If
you need to schedule a special appointment outside of our normal
business hours or for after hours boarding drop offs and pick ups,
contact us at the main office number. Appointments outside of
normal business hours are very limited and will be worked on a
case-by-case basis.
Please be advised that additional after-hours charges will apply. |
